Energy efficient and resilient food production system
Ensuring food security while reducing environmental impact is a pressing challenge in the Nordic region. The research project Energy-efficient and resilient food production system using hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (HERO-Protein) explores an innovative approach to sustainable food production by utilising hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (HOB) as a protein source. The project aims to develop a resilient and resource-efficient system that can contribute to a…
