With soon 10 billion human beings on the planet, the demographic challenge stands before our eating habits. How can the needs of a population of this size be met?
What will our meals look like in 20 or 30 years? In 2050, for feed the planet, the revolution could take place on our plates. What if tomorrow, as a meal, we had a single capsule, a chocolate bar, powder, or a simple drink? The future may already be on our shelves with bars or drinks rich in vitamins, supposed to replace a meal on their own. One million would be sold in France every month. But this does not appeal to all consumers. “I like good food, so this thing… Besides, it’s vanilla, it’s disgusting”replies a woman.
But what are these products really worth? A nutritionist in doubt. “There are really a lot of elements that are not healthy”comments Jacques Fricker, a nutritionist who lists a risk of overweight, diabetes, cardiovascular problems and cancer. To feed 10 billion humans in 2050, a Finnish start-up may have found the solution: a protein in the form of yellow powder produced by feeder bacteria and water.
