Biosolutions

The portfolio is accelerating the development of new fermented foods into an established food category, as part of the protein shift away from animal protein, thereby helping to reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions, as well as to cancel future pasture growth and deforestation. To succeed, actors across the system must work together. The value chain of the new food category needs to be optimised in relation to neighbouring biomass value chains. Technology must evolve to become commercially viable, from lab scale to industrial scale, and become accessible and usable for new entrants. End products must be improved nutritionally, sensorily and sustainably, and consumers must find the products affordable, accessible and attractive. New product names must be made part of people's everyday lives, legislation must be updated and new standards must be developed. An increase in the level of knowledge must be implemented throughout the value chain and new talents must be given room to develop. Biotech Heights is the name of a venture that is also a physical location with lab infrastructure and an innovation ecosystem.
