Israel to Launch National Food Tech Center
(Xinhua-China) Nick Kolyohin - The mission of Israel's national food tech center, to be opened by 2019, is "to deliver the world a better, healthier and affordable food technology that will both help the obese Western world and the starving third world," said Michal Fink of the Israel Ministry of Economy. Erel Margalit, chairman of Jerusalem Venture Capital, added: "The large companies in Europe, Asia, and the United States need primary research and significant breakthroughs to reduce sugar, starch, and gluten." Ofir Benjamin from the Food Science Department of Tel Hai College said initial research projects will seek "to make protein affordable and accessible to everyone instead of costly meat, eggs, and milk." Future food may come from plant products that use less water, land and energy for each kilo of food.
