Dairy alternatives with proteins from precision fermentation reconcile the high nutritional value of cow’s milk with the low greenhouse gas emissions of plant-based milk. But European regulations are an inhibiting factor.
Up to 90% lower emissions
Over the past decade, demand for milk has increased by 18%. As the middle class continues to grow in many regions, demand for milk proteins will also increase. This comes with a high environmental impact: livestock is responsible for 20% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. This is not just talking about beef production, as emissions from dairy also exceed those from the airline industry.
