Tech 101: Biomanufacturing
Food biomanufacturing entails the cultivation of plant, animal, fungal, or microbial cells to produce ingredients for human consumption with enhanced efficiency, biosecurity, resilience, and adaptability as well as supply chain independence opportunities relative to conventional food production. This technology has the potential to be deployed in austere environments or forward-deployed settings, thereby reducing reliance on resupply channels in constrained logistics situations. Food biomanufacturing also provides enhanced tailorability to meet nutrition and performance needs for the warfighter.
This webinar will discuss the current state of development of food biomanufacturing, its potential use cases in a defense and national security context, and intersections with broader trends in biotechnology and bioproduction.
