Eliminating food waste

Sheehan: If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest contributor to global greenhouse gases. Addressing food waste hinges on leveraging preservation solutions that we have today to extend the shelf life of the food we have, and then working to positively impact consumer behavior. Meat, for example, is the most carbonintensive category of all food waste offenders, and each year 73 billion kg (161 billion lb) of meat is wasted annually. That’s the equivalent of 2 billion portions a day.

Looking at the bakery industry, this represents the largest volume of global food waste with nearly 12 billion loaves wasted annually. That’s the equivalent of 630 million slices every day. So, tackling the shelf life of bread in a holistic manner is critical. Preservation ingredients with a lower environmental impact will unlock huge value in this area. However, while we scale innovation solutions, the existing conventional and clean label preservation ingredients to reduce food waste now is key. Our ambition is ultimately to achieve a fully circular economy, whereby we’re designing waste upfront, or converting waste into revenue-generating waste streams, like taking stale bread and using it in the brewing industry as a fermentation substrate.

Sustainable protein

Sheehan: Over the last 50 years, meat production has more than tripled. However, based on the calories obtained from animal products, it’s difficult to support the carbon footprint and resources required to produce them. So, protein transition technologies like biotechnology, protein derived from fermentation, and precision fermentation, are all new technologies that allow us to be more sustainable and innovative in our ways to feed the planet. Biotechnology coupled with fermentation provides a powerful process in an efficient, sustainable way to produce alternative proteins. It offers us the opportunity to take readily abundant substrates, such as low-cost waste streams, and convert them into high-value products.

We can leverage advances in biotechnology to nourish growing populations sustainably, reducing our dependence on chemicals, and enhance efficiency with respect to raw materials while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
