What makes Solein so unique and special?

This is the first time in history humankind can be provided with edible calories that at no point require photosynthesis. So far photosynthetic plants have been the only feasible way to receive energy from the sun to feed humankind. Now, this process can be bypassed in its entirety. Through Solein, a new era begins in the primary production of food and restoring biodiversity.

Solein production does not require arable land, is not dependent on daylight, and is very efficient in water use. Therefore, so long as there is a renewable source of energy available, Solein can provide nutrition for water-scarce areas and areas bereft of agricultural land or suitable farming conditions. It could be farmed in Antarctica or in the Sahara, paving the way for resolving global environmental problems and hunger.
