Lisa Dyson explains why traditional meat production is inefficient and describes Air Protein, a method that makes protein from carbon and doesn't require farmland. The process works in a carbon-negative way.
I'll talk about food in a way that we probably don't hear people talking about a lot. And I'll say that the technology that we use right now to make a steak can take up to two years. And it has the greenhouse gas footprint of a car. And that technology, as I'm calling it, of course, is a cow. And so it's hugely inefficient. It's the same way that my grandparents made food. And that might sound fine, but when my grandparents were kids, there was 1.6 billion people on the planet that now there's about 8 billion people on the planet, and by 2050, there's gonna be about 10 billion. And so right now, the food industry is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters, and it contributes to massive amounts of deforestation. So there's a lot of issues as we get more people, where are we gonna get more land from to grow and, you know, for cattle grazing, to grow crops, to feed the cows and all the other forms of meat as well. And how are we gonna do this without breaking the planet? So that's really the why, why we're focused on protein, because protein is a critical part of our diets. We're gonna need to or protein production for more people on the planet. At air protein, we focus on doing it in a way that from cradle to gate is carbon negative and that doesn't require any arable land, no agricultural inputs whatsoever. If you allow me to go back to another invention that we're following as well is back in 1898, the newly inaugurated president of the Royal Academy for the association of the Advancements of Sciences gave a talk about why the 19th century farmer was struggling. And it was because there wasn't a lot of natural sources of fertilizer. And so he issued a charge for innovators for scientists during his inaugural talk to create innovations to actually pull nitrogen out of the air to make nitrogen fertilizer. And that, of course, happened. And it's so impactful. It's estimated that 50% of human tissue has nitrogen from this process that was created, the Haber Bosch process, ultimately was created to solve that problem. And Haber won a Nobel Prize for that. And so that was to pull nitrogen out of the air so that we can grow crops and do that more quickly. And now we have this huge issue where we're running out of land and, you know, with this population explosion, as it were, running out of land, and we have all these greenhouse gas emissions, so why not just pull food out of the air directly.
