What if we could turn agricultural waste into food? Scientists have developed a groundbreaking process that transforms corn stover—a common farming byproduct—into artificial starch and microbial protein using enzymes and yeast. This could help tackle global food security by creating sustainable, nutritious food sources from waste. Not only does this method improve digestibility and cost efficiency, but early studies suggest that artificial starch could also help regulate blood sugar levels, making it a potential health food.
