FoodShot 2 - Equity Award

The ultimate objective of a successful and sustainable food system is to provide quality nutrition to all members of society. In order to provide sufficient nutrition for 10 billion
people by 2050 while significantly reducing agricultural pollution and other profound impacts on planetary health, we urgently need to innovate across protein sectors –
including livestock, aquaculture/fisheries, agricultural proteins, and novel proteins (algae, fungi, bacteria, insects, etc.). There is no time, either for the health of people or the planet, to be imprecise with our approach to protein, a macronutrient that is so resource-intensive and consequential to the environment.

The democratization of nutrition is the next frontier of food. Proteins – which are necessary for all key human biological functions, including the musculo-skeletal system,
the circulatory system, the pituitary system, and our overall health – will play a critical role in this democratization. The Precision Protein FoodShot looks at proteins systemically and with heightened rigor in order to build a protein system that is more precisely attuned to human and planetary health, better aligns global and regional supply and demand, increases accessibility, and decreases waste and environmental damage.

FoodShot Global's Precision Protein portfolio will leverage advances in science to fully realize protein’s power to improve health outcomes, deliver proteins in a way that minimizes environmental damage and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and expand access to proteins by diversifying and democratizing production and processing to meet local and regional needs. We invite entrepreneurs, researchers, and advocates to submit their Precision Protein business proposals for funding consideration .
