Moonshot Goal 5
Creation of the industry that enables sustainable global food supply by exploiting unused biological resources by 2050.

Target of Moonshot Goal

Technical development of the circular food production systems by biological measures, e.g. utilizing microbes and insects, by 2050.
Development of the technical solutions for eliminating food loss and waste and for achieving both healthy life and sustainable food consumption by 2050.
Evaluation of the technical achievements and discussion on the ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) matters will be done by 2030, for global spread of the technology by 2050.
