Our #foodsystem is ripe for innovation. Sustainable food production for a growing global population is a huge challenge and animal agriculture has an outsized impact. Therefore, novel ways of producing #altprotein are emerging using plants, microorganisms, and animal cells.

“Environmental change is happening at a much higher speed now than before, so that increases the likelihood that there will be (spillover of) pathogens and microbes which none of us are adapted to," said Dr. Anne Spurkland. Excellent read from @CEPIvaccines:
What is a ‘spillover’ event, and how is climate change fuelling the risk of these events?
