2050, the world population hits 8 billion possibilities, poses many challenges to food security. People will have to eat meat then cultured in the laboratory, insects, weeds, mouse, nano food ...
1. Vegetarian Meat
The idea of vegetarian meats (red meat derived from animals) is not new. Its future is very bright due to the difficult food supply available to meet human needs. Meanwhile, the meat was incredibly expensive vegetarian meat is cheaper but has health benefits.
Soybean is a typical material for the processing industry vegetarian food in the future. In addition, some fungi can also be used as raw materials for processing meat substitutes.
2. Cultured Meat
Method to create "cultured meat" is taking the live animal cells and then "grow" them in the laboratory.
According to scientists, "cultured meat" flavor and nutritional value no less than animal meat. Moreover, the production of "cultured meat" in the lab does not pollute the environment as large livestock farms in the tradition.
The Dutch scientists are leading the world in the study of this type of meat. Late last year, they created the muscle tissue of beef cattle through true stem cells. Cultured meat does not look like they are made out of meat which is similar to the body of the squid.
3. Algae
Climate change is causing shrinking arable land, threatening the traditional farming methods. So, people have to find solutions as ocean farming.Typically, the cultivation of algae, organisms have developed very strong capabilities. It has the ability to grow in the sea and even, in the polluted waters. Moreover, the ocean environment is consistent with that description area of almost unlimited.
In addition, the algae also contain ingredients beneficial to health. Not only to eat, they can also be used to produce green fuels to replace fossil fuels being depleted.
4. Con worms g
Currently many people do not find this attractive hypothesis but insects are rich in protein, substances that we desperately need. Moreover, the number of insects can eat up to 1,400 species.
Even more, they provide a small amount of fat, low cholesterol but iron and calcium content is very high. Therefore, insects really are a good food for humans.
5. Seafood
Oceans provide abundant sources of seafood, nutritious. This does not mean people should work out more by sea fishing if massive extraction, marine resources will be depleted.
Humans know how aquaculture seafood so long ago the only problem is widespread and replicate this model.
6. The small animals
There are many kinds of mice can eat besides rabbits, squirrels ... The development of small livestock economy than that amount of waste they do not affect the environment as large animals such as pigs and cows.
7. Weeds
Weed species have vitality. They reproduce and grow everywhere thanks to the easy to adapt to extreme conditions, from the arid plains to wetlands, submerged. The experts confirmed that there are weeds nutritional value. For example, vegetables sam, exactly is a weed but contain sufficient nutrients that humans need: vitamin A, beta carotene and omega-3.
In fact, some studies also concluded, vegetables sam more nutritional value than whole carrots and spinach. In fact, vegetables are not difficult to eat crab. Therefore, in the future, most likely weed substitute for vegetables at the table of man.
8. Genetically Modified Food
Although there is still new but future technical change genetic material structure promises to change the current foods into foods more nutritious, tastier and safer.
People can apply transgenic techniques to shorten the duration of crop growth, increase productivity and yields, increased resistance to pests and diseases as well as extreme weather conditions. In addition, this technique also allows for the creation of new foods, high nutritional value.
9. Food nano
Food nano has many similarities to genetically modified food. These foods are modified, based on the purpose of making food tastier, more nutritious. However, transgenic techniques mean completely change the genetic structure of food, nanotechnology also creates food by restructuring the molecules and atoms in food.
Recently, this technology is used in product packaging, helps extend shelf life and enhance food safety and quality. Even, it also applies nanotechnology to produce packaging products have the ability to replicate itself if torn. Many people expect in the future, nanotechnology will be applied to the production of food.
