Some farmers in Finland and Singapore, always concerned about land usage, are experimenting in alternatives to animal-based foods, which according to the Economist (July 22nd issue, p. 29) are responsible for emitting methane into the environment, a strong gas that contributes to climate change.
If this project to utilize alternatives to animal products proves viable, at some time in the future we may depend less on animals for our protein. I would imagine, the task for chemists is to make the substitute as tasty as animal meat.
