For the past 50 years, we've been largely eating one species of chickpea - which was bred for mass production 🌱 But wild chickpeas are an incredibly diverse group of legumes, all with different genetic traits. Many of these lost traits could have a massive impact on today's food system Our portfolio company NuCicer has been breeding chickpeas that are WAY BETTER for farmers, food producers and (most importantly) eaters - offering 75% more protein, improved nutrition, and functionality over conventional chickpeas. Not forgetting improved soil regeneration, climate resistance and less water for farmers And now, the revolutionary high-protein chickpeas have begun being planted across North America and will be cultivated on more acres than ever before - marking a monumental 10x expansion of NuCicer’s supply chain It's exciting times for chickpea production! More on NuCicer's scale up here: https://lnkd.in/dSCYvYJk #foodtech #futurefood #sustainablefood #legumes #proteinshift #innovation #scaleup

In today's biogenetic food world, farm-fresh, locally grown food preparation continues to hold great importance for many people. The movement toward farm-fresh produce has gained momentum as consumers increasingly seek out food that is grown and sourced locally due to its perceived freshness, taste, and potential health benefits. Additionally, there is a growing awareness of the environmental and sustainability benefits of consuming locally grown food, as it often requires fewer resources for transportation and preservation. Furthermore, many consumers are interested in the transparency and traceability of their food sources, and they may trust local farmers and producers more than large-scale, industrialized operations. Biogenetic advancements can also play a role in agriculture, potentially impacting the quality, yield, and characteristics of crops. However, opinions on biogenetic foods vary widely, and some consumers may have concerns about the potential long-term effects of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on human health and the environment. Overall, in the biogenetic food world, the importance of farm-fresh, locally grown food preparation remains significant for many consumers due to its perceived benefits in terms of taste, health, sustainability, and supporting local economies. #HondaPro #MorganAutoGroup #TopPerformers #EatingHealthy #MentalHealth #PhysicalHealth #FoodPrep #FarmFresh #LocallyGrown #Master your craft

RePosted • @denny_dure | GMO’s in 90% of our cheese 🧀 Who doesn’t love cheese? Not only is it delicious, but it’s also incredibly nutritious, and as humans we have been enjoying this superfood for over 7,000 years. Cheese has played a vital role throughout history, offering a reliable source of calories, protein, and fat, especially for early farming populations during challenging times like droughts or famines. However today’s cheese is different. With bioengineered FPCs (Fermentation Produced Chymosin) granted GRAS status, it’s crucial to be selective with your cheese choices. These genetically modified organisms might not be labeled as ‘GMO,’ often listed simply as ‘microbial rennet’ or ‘vegetable rennet,’ which can be deceiving. Vegetable and microbial rennets are common alternatives to animal rennet, but their sources vary widely. While microbial rennet is produced in lab settings, and sometimes fed soy, vegetable rennet’s quality can be also be extremely inconsistent. So, next time you’re indulging in cheese and feeling a bit uneasy, remember, it might just be the type of cheese and its production methods that’s causing discomfort, and not your ability to digest it. ✌🏼+🧡 ______ #cheese #rennet #natural #gmo #health #digestion #beadure

Thanks to decades of relentless lobbying, advertising and promotion, most people think that animal flesh has always been the major source of protein in our diet. The truth is that for most people during most of history, meat has been at most a "once in a while" food, and that lentils, beans, nuts and other plant foods have been far more important sources of protein. Now, as the animal agriculture industries are running roughshod over the planet, a great many people are starting to rediscover the abundant health and flavor that comes with eating only plants. Our future depends on us making the same decisions.

A big step towards the future of food! 🌱🥩 For the first time in history, a cultivated meat product can be bought in grocery stores! GOOD Meat have released their GOOD Meat 3 product, combining plant-based proteins with 3% of cultivated chicken meat. Blended products such as GOOD Meat 3 blend the texture and nutrition of plant-based proteins with the taste of cultivated meat, and help bring more delicious alternative proteins to consumers while scaling up cellular agriculture technology. It’s a win-win situation for foodies, animals, and our planet! We love to see more environmentally-friendly foods reaching shelves around the world. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. #ProVeg #CellularAgriculture #CellAg #CultivatedMeat #CultivatedChicken

Expert in Thermodynamics and Mathematics. Possess Bullshit Piercing Plasma Gun against Reality Distortion Field. Esp in Clean Tech and AI and… Human Rights CEO and Founder at Alp Tech
Protein directly from plants is definitely better. Remember the simple math that it takes way more than 10 lbs of food for humans and most mammals alike to gain just 1 lbs of protein (assuming your metabolism is healthy and you can workout). Therefore, when we eat one pounds of 🥩 (those poor cows!) we are really indirectly eating more than 10 lbs of plants or animal feed. Or… we could have just eaten just 1 pound of lentils directly or other similar healthier food. Following the math… To raise 1 cow, we would need aproximately an entire acre of plants such as soy to feed them. There are over 1B+ cows in the world so almost half of the U.S. mainland is needed to make food just for making cows with a cold hearted industrial process not taking the wellbeing of cows into any consideration. We could have just eaten 1/10 of those plants directly for a better diet and skip the heart disease and extra animal hormones in our body. Scary Math, huh! 😱 Humans are omnivores and I am not advocating everyone must goes vegan - that’s unrealistic and often not practical - but I AM saying we should get more calories from plants and just be more like ‘vegans’. 😊 Let’s lessen our dependency on industrial farming of animals. Treat those poor 🐄 🐮 and 🐑 better!!!

"Scientists have created a new type of hybrid food - a "meaty" rice that they say could offer an affordable and eco-friendly source of protein." An eco-friendly solution, pink meaty rice ... "According to the team at Yonsei University in South Korea, it has 8% more protein and 7% more fat." Is that more than your normal less processed rice ... "The findings represent a relatively small increase in the protein content of rice, which isn't a high protein food. So further work would be needed if this technology were to be used as an alternative protein source to traditional animal products." Hmmm ... 🧐 Think this article was edited, when first published it was not so bigging up the eco-friendly benefits. "The researchers say the food may serve as "relief for famine, military ration, or even space food" ..." Do they take steaks into space then, wonder if there would not be a more simpler options to meet todays pressing needs ... Had green rice once, it was tasty, went well with the skinny fried chicken. #thinkingaboutthings #justanotherthought #thinkingdifferently #onebigchocolateeg #beavoice #beanecho #dotherightthing #stopthespread #dowehavetolivewithit #circular #donotstareatgoats #whatdoyouthink #wonderlust #wanderlust #wherediditcomefrom #whoknows #cananyonehelp #donotgowiththeflow #dejavu #onebigchocolateegg https://lnkd.in/eSdJsUwt

Quinoa: From "Miracle Crop" Myth to Climate-Resilient Reality Did you know the "superfood" status of quinoa originated from a marketing push to make it a bread substitute? While it lacks gluten and didn't take off as bread, quinoa's diverse varieties and adaptability to harsh conditions make it a promising player in the fight against climate change. Here's the surprising story: Early efforts to popularize quinoa in the 19th century focused on making it a bread replacement, despite evidence it wasn't suitable. Today, quinoa is celebrated for its rainbow of colors, drought tolerance, and high protein content. Its diversity makes it a valuable crop for regions affected by climate change, like the Andes, which face threats like El Niño. Marketing shapes our perception of food, but the true story behind quinoa highlights its potential as a climate-resilient crop, though it's important to remember that no single solution is a complete answer to complex challenges like food security. What are your thoughts on the role of marketing in shaping food trends? #quinoa #superfood #climateaction #foodhistory

“Eggs are natural and economical, so keep enough on hand,” a smiling man cheerfully explains in a 1978 commercial sponsored by the American Egg Board. “The egg is really a miracle ingredient in terms of its versatility and what it brings to our food,” Jon Rathauser, CEO (chief egg officer) and co-founder of Israeli startup Eggmented Reality, tells NoCamels. And Rathauser and the team at Eggmented Reality believe that they have created an even more incredible kind of egg, without any of the drawbacks associated with the industry. Eggmented Reality identified a naturally occurring protein that can provide the same functionality as an egg in cooking — gelling, binding and foaming — but without the ongoing challenges of the egg industry. The new egg is vegan, has no genetic modifications and places far less strain on the environment than traditional chicken and egg farming. #foodtech #eggs #eggindustry #proteinalternative #miracleingredient #israelinnovation #israelitech #veganfriendly #eggfunctionality #protein https://lnkd.in/dkQVmqWG
