Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Making honey without bees and milk without cows
Driving an electric car isn’t enough to stop global warming. To your surprise, meat and dairy production combined accounts for nearly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As more people eat animal products, more greenhouse gasses are emitted. In the meantime, demands for a greener diet are increasing, whether for health or mental reasons. That’s why more alternative meat, milk, and other dairy products are becoming popular mainly in developed countries. Indeed, cultured products are becoming essential for vegetarians, those who are in diet, and the environment.
Some companies are developing fermentation-based animal products which are identical biologically to the real thing like honey, milk, cheese, and egg-white in terms of flavor, texture, or ease of use. You may not see those alternative products on store shelves first as they are mainly targeted at large users like food companies and restaurant chains.
Agriculture, hydro-culture, aquaculture, and now bio culture. Revolutions and innovations in food production seem to continue.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about new ways of producing food alternatives.
