3 Ways We Could Transform the Future of Food

The video discusses the growing global challenge of food access due to population growth and limited resources. It introduces three innovative technologies that could transform food production: mycoprotein, aquaponics, and vertical farming. Mycoprotein offers a sustainable meat substitute but poses allergy risks. Aquaponics uses fish waste to grow plants, offering a sustainable farming method. Vertical farming allows for urban agriculture but faces eco-friendliness challenges. These technologies aim to address future food demands sustainably.

What is mycoprotein primarily made from?

• Jackfruit

• Beans

• Fungus

• Soy

What is a major concern associated with mycoprotein consumption?

• High carbon dioxide emissions

• Severe allergic reactions

• Low protein content

• Excessive land use

In aquaponics, what provides nutrients to the plants?

• Fish waste

• Sunlight

• Commercial fertilizers

• Soil minerals

What is a significant challenge of aquaponics?

• Limited water supply

• Balancing nutrients

• High pesticide use

• Lack of indoor farming capability

What is a key benefit of vertical farming?

• Minimal construction costs

• Natural pest control

• Reduced energy consumption

• Significantly less land use
