Powered By EPIC ON. By the year 2050 we will have 10 billion people on our planet a sixth of whom will be in India. If we want to feed all 10 billion of us in a sustainable, healthy and just way, we need to reimagine how we source our food.

The Covid19 pandemic has only made the importance of protein diversification evident.
