Why
Major global shocks could disrupt the food systems people rely on every day, potentially leading to mass starvation.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research explores innovative food sources like leaf protein and sugar to prevent mass starvation during disruptions to global food systems. It aims to make better use of plant material not typically eaten by people, increasing food production from existing land.
