The Dirty Business Of Fats And Why Alternatives Are Key To Future-Proofing Our Food System

Each year, 221.5 million tons of fats and oils are produced globally, a yearly average of 27 kg per person. The UN predicts that by 2030, the world will be home to 8.5 billion people and this will balloon to 10.4 billion by 2100. Ensuring food security for such a large population means we need to produce at least 280 million tons of fats and oil by the end of the century.  Many food system experts, myself included, do not believe this is possible with our current production systems.
