Hinoman Ltd, a company known for a food tech platform that enables scalability for cultivation, has created a cultivation system to address one of the major challenges - developing healthy food products for the coming decades.
According to a press release, the new, groundbreaking technology grows a high-protein, leafy green vegetable quickly and safely to ensure a consistent supply 365 days/year.
The system utilises closed-environment, yet economically competitive, advanced hydroponics technology to completely control and optimise the plants’ growth. It ensures the plants are pure, clean, uncontaminated and free from pesticides and other non-desired residues. The resulting vegetable exceeds food safety and food security requirements under the strictest standards.
According to Lux Research Inc. and Frost & Sullivan Inc., global protein consumption will reach 943 million metric tonne (MMT) by 2054, rising at a 8.6% CAGR from the current 473 MMT. Whole protein sources (such as algae, insects and Hinoman’s new vegetable solution) must pick up the slack of slowing and unsustainable meat and seafood growth. These sources could claim as much as 33% of total protein supply by 2054.
“We hope our high-tech technology can contribute not just to reducing global malnutrition challenges, but also toward how people will eat healthy, sustainable food in the future,” says Ron Salpeter, CEO, Hinoman. “It is exciting to lead the Hinoman team and help pave the way toward production of continuous, year-round and inexpensive whole vegetarian protein.”
“Hinoman’s revolutionary eco-green technology is effective on small, large or even industrial scales,” explains Udi Alroy, VP, business development, Hinoman. “This new food-tech platform can be easily scaled up to meet both immediate and long-term demands. Decision-makers in food companies must choose safe, careful and reliable suppliers, especially when it comes to clean, environmentally friendly protein sources. Hinoman offers a complete, innovative package for a highly nutritious, trusted and safe supply of this critical nutrient, at an affordable and stable cost.”
