Providing a sustainable way of feeding the world
By 2050, there will be close to 10 billion people on this planet. Global demand for protein will nearly double. Current ways of producing protein cannot be scaled to meet that demand—we would need almost two times the resources our planet can provide.
Vivici's protein derived from precision fermentation will complement today's traditional protein production and contribute towards a sustainable future food system.
