This #NHK video on farming #silkworm for food really surprised me, never heard about it before.
#Fibroin (silk protein) is extracted from silk cocoon fibres: just a small amount of it gives food a softer, moister texture, and helps to bring out the flavour of other ingredients. (relevant part starts at 9:00, but it is worth watching the whole video, only 13 min long)

[SPECIAL EDITION] This series provides updates and new perspectives on selected stories from BIZ STREAM's signature "On-Site" reports. From a machine-washable thread that allows for daily wear to additives for skin care and even food products, this episode focuses on new innovations that are changing the way silk is being produced and used. *Subtitles and transcripts are available for video segments when viewed on our website.
Cannot resist to share some #NHK videos I saw recently on this subject.
Many people are happy and grateful to have #insects as part of a satisfying meal. I was surprised that some insects (e.g. palm weevil) are eaten for their high fat content (60%).
A very interesting video (28 min long).

Edible insects are attracting attention as a way to address global issues such as food shortages, malnutrition and the environmental impact of raising livestock. Interest was sparked by a report issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2013. Why insects, you may ask? Some are high in protein, an essential nutrient for humans, while others are rich in minerals and vitamins too! In this episode, we look at efforts to make consumption of insects more widespread, from insect farms in both Japan and Southeast Asia, to research on creating allergen-free insects through genome editing. Then, in our J-Innovators segment, we'll examine a new communication device that supports people who have difficulty communicating through speech. [J-Innovators] "Looking" to Improve Communication for the Speech-impaired
And finally, an inspirational video with a wide collection of cutting edge #FoodTech innovators from Japan. (28 min)
- mock meat, seafood and egg that looks and tastes as the real stuff
- 3D-printed mock seafood
- 3D-printed soft texture foods for the elderly and sick
- #upcycling of any subpar or unusable food into healthy food additives
- inland fish and prawn farming

An example from the US. This is a 15 minutes interview with #UmaValeti, a former cardiologist and CEO/Founder of #UpsideFoods, who was a pioneer in the production of #LabGrownMeat through cell cultivation technology.

Pioneering a cruelty-free method of growing meat through cell cultivation technology, former cardiologist Uma Valeti hopes to meet increasing global demand, while reducing environmental harm.
So let's feature some of these #AlternativeProtein innovators, 3 different types of businesses from 3 continents.
This is #SolarFoods from Finland, a company making ‘Food Out Of Thin Air’.
"On the outskirts of Helsinki, a pioneering factory is harvesting natural, scalable proteins all from fermented bacteria."

(has many names🤓)
The article explains the necessity and inevitability of providing money and political clout behind these new technologies and help them scale-up ASAP. Also highlights their positive effects on the environment and humans.
