Finnish scientists, who derive protein from bacteria and hydrogen, say it will compete with soybean protein in price within a decade.
This above protein is produced from bacteria
in the dirt/soil. These microorganisms depends on hydrogen gas. And this gas is
obtained by breaking water into electricity into its constituents, hydrogen and
oxygen gases.
Researchers say that if electricity is
obtained from solar energy or wind energy, this food can be prepared almost
without emitting any toxic gas.
If their dream comes true, it will help the
world deal with a wide range of agricultural issues.
When I visited a solar food plant on the
outskirts of Helsinki, Finland, last year, scientists were raising funds to
expand their project.
Now he says he has raised more than 6 million Dollars. He says that by the way, it will depend on the price of electricity, but he is hopeful that soon , its price will be equal to soybean.
TASTE-LESS:
I tasted a diet of protein flour called solan, it had
no taste. That's what scientists wanted. They think that it should not have any
flavor of its own so that it can be easily mixed with other foods. It can be
used in peas, ice cream, biscuits, pasta, sauces or double bread with palm oil.
The makers of this food say that it can be used during the stage of growth of
artificial meat or fish. It can also be used as fodder for livestock to protect
common forests. However, even if everything goes according to plan, as is
usually the case, it can still take many years to produce the amount needed to
meet the needs of the world.
But it is one of several projects working on the idea of creating artificial
foods in the future. The head of the Finnish company is Pasi Venica, who
studied at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom and is now a professor at
Lapin Ranta University in Finland.
The Idea of Space Age:
Professor Venica says the idea for the food technology originally emerged in the 1960s, when the space industry was booming.
He acknowledged that his first plant was several months behind schedule, but said it would be completed by 2022. A comprehensive investment plan will be ready in 2023, and if all goes according to plan, the first factory will be set up in 2025.
"Right now we're doing very well," he said. Once we have a protein-producing reactor, we can reshape the factory and adapt to technology derived from other sources of energy, including hydropower and solar energy. Maybe in 2025 we will be able to compete.
To obtain hydrogen, water is 'ripped' by electrolysis and then solin protein is made from this hydrogen. Bacteria then grow from hydrogen, air, and carbon dioxide from minerals.
He said that the price of electricity would play an
important role in determining its future price. The company believes that the
price of this new food will go down as new and reusable sources of energy
emerge. Environmentalist George Monbiot, who has made a TV documentary called
Apocalypse Cow on the devastating effects of the meat industry on the
environment, has warmly welcomed the new technology.
Rays of a Future:
Environmentalist G.Monbioot is not happy with our earths future, but tells that solar food may be considered a hope, food production is consuming our wealth, he said. In a sense, fishing and agriculture have severely affected the planet's biodiversity and wildlife. Agriculture plays a major role in the destruction of the environment but the idea of food production without any field has created possibilities to save the man kind at this time. By reducing agriculture we can save many species from extinction and our reliance is now onnon-farming-agricultr. We will soon be able to provide food for mankind without damaging the world.

By 2035, new technology will make protein ten times cheaper than animal protein, according to research think tank Rethink X, which examines the effects of technology.
The agency predicts that the livestock industry will become almost extinct, although critics will again complain that the new plan does not take into account where the meat industry is concerned where they could get protection for the nutrition of its animals.
A group of the world's leading scientists has been set up to identify new sources of food to reduce the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. A research paper last year pointed out that microbial-derived proteins are many times better than soybeans in terms of land use, and use only one-tenth of water. But there is also a cultural impetus. And that many people will like to eat goat's champ in its original form.
Leon Terry, a professor at Cranfield University, says that peoples who want to invest are now more Keene in new food expertise.
& there is now an increase on investing in this field, "But is there an appetite for this type of food?" this question arises.
