Visual Technologies Are Critical to Discovering New Food Proteins and Hopefully A More Sustainable Future

Visual Technologies Are Critical to Discovering New Food Proteins and Hopefully A More Sustainable Future

We recently released our 2020 LDV Insights Report, “Visual Technologies Driving Innovation in 15 Food & Agriculture Sectors”. One of its chapters is dedicated to food processing.

Among many other topics, LDV Capital’s associate Meryl Breidbart was researching all things protein. Why proteins?

Proteins are the building blocks of almost everything in life. Technically speaking, proteins are macromolecules consisting of one or more long chains of amino acids. And while proteins make up much more than just the food we eat—such as antibodies, insulin, and growth hormone, to name a few—our food system is on the brink of a crisis with our growing population and demand for more sustainable sources of food.

Read about the cutting-edge visual tech that helps in discovering and creating new proteins in her latest article on our blog and don’t forget to get your free copy of our latest report.
