I want sustainable and alternative proteins to be major constituents of our future food and feed products. I want this, because we need to meet the increasing demand of protein required by the 10 billion people expected to live by the year 2050. I can do this, because I have been rearing insects on side waste streams to produce cost effective and sustainable alternative proteins.
