How biosolutions make the world of food and beverages better ❤️ Today is World Food Day. Andrew Taylor, our EVP of Food & Beverage Biosolutions, helps highlight the impact of biosolutions on many of the food and beverage products we use every day:  "When it comes to food and beverages, biology has been a natural fit for thousands of years. Products like cheese, yoghurt, bread, meat, soy sauce and beer are among thousands of culinary traditions that have been shaped by biology in the form of enzymes and cultures. With biosolutions, we can give people more of what they want and less of what they don't. Producers can also cut costs while delivering the authenticity and quality that their consumers love," he says.   At Novonesis, we harness and amplify the power of cultures and enzymes in our biosolutions so producers can help make the world of food and beverages even better with biology. 🌱 Learn more about our biosolutions for food and beverages here: https://lnkd.in/eNq6Dfku #biosolutions #worldfoodday #foodandbeverages #enzymes 

New report: Brazil could emerge as a global biosolutions powerhouse 🇧🇷 🌱 The global biosolutions industry has the potential to create more than 5 million jobs and generate up to USD 1 trillion in economic value by 2035.  In Brazil alone, the biosolutions sector could create over 276,000 jobs and deliver up to BRL 232.6 billion in economic impact by 2035 – equivalent to a threefold increase in just a decade. 🙌 The study concludes that Brazil can be considered one of the global frontrunners, driven by its policy lead and pioneering role in adopting sustainable practices in agriculture, livestock, aquaculture, forestry, and clean energy. These findings are from the new report 'The Value of Biosolutions: Growth and Prosperity to 2035' developed by ADC Consulting. Our Regional President for Latin America, Ethel Laursen, shares her perspective:  "Biosolutions play a central role in tackling some of the planet’s most urgent crises while paving the way for new business models. Based on microorganisms, enzymes and proteins, they help countries and companies reduce waste and water usage, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and develop innovative, profitable products. Today, these biosolutions are already applied across more than 30 industries – from preventive healthcare and industrial applications to agriculture and food production. But to unlock their full potential, we need future-ready regulations," she says.

The climate economy is driving growth and resilience 🌍 Our CEO Ester Baiget is Co-Chair of World Economic Forum’s #AllianceofCEOClimateLeaders, and we are pleased to share their open letter to global leaders ahead of COP30, which shows the world that the climate economy drives growth and resilience. ❤️ With this letter, the Alliance is urging closer collaboration between government and businesses to increase impact and enable accelerated decarbonization. The actions taken today will determine the speed and scale of the green transformation – and unlock the commercial opportunities. Solutions to accelerate the sustainable transition and build resilience already exist. Biosolutions can help limit our dependence on fossil fuels. Through microbes, enzymes, and functional proteins, we can help transform agricultural systems, replace fossil-based chemicals and reduce the carbon footprint of animal and food production. Biosolutions are a vital part of a fast transition towards a sustainable future for people and planet. 🌱 The Alliance represents $4 trillion in revenues and 12 million employees in 130+ companies and ~5 Gt of CO₂ emissions in total. Between 2019 and 2023, its members reduced aggregate emissions by 12% while delivering revenue growth of 20% in the same period.

From CO₂ to food: New chapter of climate-resilient food innovation It was recently announced that the pioneering collaboration project to turn CO₂ into nutritious food is moving into its next phase. We are proud to be a part of this initiative along with many partners, including Topsoe, University of Copenhagen, Spora, Aarhus University, Orkla Foods and Northwestern University.  The Acetate Consortium project was initiated in 2023 and has the goal of mitigating food insecurity and climate change as well as eliminating land use for food production. In the coming period, promising solutions will be scaled and food prototypes will be produced and tested. Our Chief Scientific Officer Claus Crone Fuglsang shared his thoughts on the project: "While biosolutions already today help mitigate carbon footprint, ensure renewability, limit waste and increase sustainability of products and processes around the world, the possibility to move biomanufacturing from sugar or agricultural feedstock to complete carbon neutral and potentially even carbon negative feedstock offers an enormous future potential for driving further sustainability with renewable biosolutions. By transforming CO₂ and electricity into acetate and using it to produce sustainable, nutritious food, this initiative could redefine how we think about food production, eliminating the need for agricultural land. This holds amazing perspectives for mitigating food insecurity and climate change," he said. The initiative is co-funded by Gates Foundation and Novo Nordisk Foundation.
