Why
Major global shocks could disrupt the food systems people rely on every day, leading to mass starvation.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research could provide a novel way to produce human food from existing plant material, increasing food resilience and potentially preventing mass starvation during global catastrophes. It could also lead to more sustainable food systems in the near-term.
