An Integrated Chemical and Microbial Platform for On-demand Food Production from Minimal Resources
Abstract
The Recipient will develop capabilities for field-deployable, on demand production of a range of nutritious, palatable foodstuffs from engineered microbes, air, water, and electricity. To adequately address the critical vulnerabilities faced in food supply chains across a variety of operational and humanitarian scenarios, the Recipient will demonstrate capacity to produce all four human dietary macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat, dietary fiber) in multiple food formats (e.g., shake, bar, gel, jerky) that meet military nutritional standards and palatability requirements in a system minimizing inputs, handling, and footprint.
