Swapping animal products for future foods such as insect protein or cultured milk could reduce global warming, water and land use by over 80 per cent, a new study suggests.
Researchers used computer modelling to find the optimal diet combination to meet nutritional needs, while also minimising global warming potential, water and land use.
They found that if people in Europe replaced meat and dairy with foods produced through new technologies, such as making fake steak out of bovine cells, it could significantly reduce all environmental impacts.
Not only that, but it would be nutritionally adequate and meet the constraints for what can be feasibly consumed, according to experts at the University of Helsinki.
novel or future foods (NFFs) — including cultured milk, insect meal or mycoprotein — can contain a more complete array of essential nutrients compared to currently available plant-based protein-rich (PBPR) options like legumes, pulses and grains, according to the researchers.
They said NFFs also tend to be more land and water-efficient than existing animal-sourced products.
Cultured milk is where it has been fermented with lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Leuconostoc.
This increases the shelf life of the product, while also enhancing its taste and improving digestibility.
'Global food systems face the challenge of providing healthy and adequate nutrition through sustainable means, which is exacerbated by climate change and increasing protein demand by the world's growing population,' the researchers, led by lead author Rachel Mazac, wrote in their paper.
'Recent advances in novel food production technologies demonstrate potential solutions for improving the sustainability of food systems.

So what?
Nope.
This is for proles; the Inner Party intends to make no change. They’re more equal than us after all.
Daily Mail is such a sickening, globalist publication. “Eat your insects while we eat steak,” they say.
No thanks.
GTH! I’ll starve first!
Add plain ol dirt for an extra 5% with a crunch 🤪
So eating bugs and bacteria is good for the earth, but we shouldn’t care what’s good for humans? Any time you deviate with what nature intends, it’s usually bad. Isn’t deviating from nature just about everything that encompasses the leftist agenda?
but the elites still get their kobe
If the Watermelon Greens would just do this themselves and not want to use force to make others comply ... but, no, nothing the Left ever does is without compulsion.
Solutions so good they’ll force you to use them.
You first,dweeb.
Wait till you hear what they want us to use for gravy.
If progs keep this crap up, we need to reconsider cannibalism.
Progs taste like chicken I hear.
Even that long ass title was completely searchable; https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4057876/posts
Tell it the people enjoying the dining rooms on Capitol Hill, at the UN, AR the UK’s Parliament.
Guess what’s on all those menus: Meat. And not the cheap stuff.
Because the Left is insane.
The Daily Mail is known for posting US news that our msm will not.
Tomorrow, I am going to tell my wife her cooking is “nutritionally adequate and meets the constraints for what can be feasibly consumed.” I will let you all know how it goes.
No but, but yeah, but no, because you know Albany, well she said I’ve been going around saying Samina’s got a moustache, which she has, but I never said it. But anyway Paul Murphy told Yasmin that I showed him my tit on a school trip to Wookey Hole. But I never; I just showed him my wookey hole.
And do WHAT with all the “saved” land, exactly? Stick another 8 billion people on it? Then what?
