In 30 years, there will be 10 billion people on the planet requiring 50% to 70% more food.
The world is still using meat as its main protein source and livestock needs feed, which is 90% soybeans. However, there is insufficient arable land available to meet this higher soybean demand. The result is an impending global protein shortage. Sustainable Planet has revolutionized protein production by cultivating high-protein aquatic plants, water lentils, on non-arable land. These plants yield 10 times more protein than soybeans, mitigating deforestation and food insecurity. With cost-effective infrastructure in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, they generate jobs for disadvantaged communities, aid smallholder farmers, and transform unusable and non-arable land into plant protein. The plant is also a carbon sink, reducing carbon emissions and producing oxygen.
