Did you know that there’s more energy in the packaging of an MRE than what’s in the food?
In this episode of the Voices from DARPA podcast, we’re discussing “The Future of Food: Meals from Microbes.”
First, we will hear from Dr. Molly Jahn, program manager for the Cornucopia program, which seeks to enable food production on-demand and on-site.
Next, we’ll speak with Dr. Blake Bextine, who manages the ReSource program, and Dr. Stephen Techtmann from Michigan Technological University, who serves as a program performer on their unique approaches to this daunting problem. That program aims to turn military waste – including plastics - into oils, lubricants, and food.
