With a predicted population of nine billion by 2050, we will soon need the resources from three Earths to satisfy our hunger.
What solutions are there to solve some of the problems a growing population will bring?
At UTS, scientists are grappling with issues of sustainability, food and energy security by spearheading a bio-economy based on microalgae, the microscopic plants that have the potential to revolutionise the food we eat, medicines we take and the energy we rely on.
In this UTS Science in Focus talk, Professor Peter Ralph, Director of UTS Science’s Climate Change Cluster (C3) and founder of the NSW Deep Green Biotech Hub, explains how algae-based biotechnology innovation will create new products and jobs. From waste management, energy production and even unique blends of beer, come along and find out all about biotechnology innovation and the algae revolution!
