Juan García Martínez: Industrial alternative foods for global catastrophic risks

Link post


Juan García Martínez presents the latest research on industrial food solutions for feeding everyone in the case of food-related global catastrophic risks. He focusses on sun-blocking global food catastrophes such as large asteroid impacts, supervolcanic eruptions and nuclear winter. The solutions presented include single-cell protein (SCP) from natural gas or from hydrogen and CO2, sugar from lignocellulosic biomass, and synthetic margarine from petroleum.

In the future, we may post a transcript for this talk, but we haven’t created one yet. If you’d like to create a transcript for this talk, contact Aaron Gertler — he can help you get started.
