This time I interviewed Ruud Zanders of Kipster, diving deep into the question: What is the role of animals in the food system of the future (if any)?
Takeaways:
- Pigs and chickens can do something amazing turning food waste (which humans can’t or don’t want to eat) into protein and manure
- If the livestock industry would only use residual waste for chickens and pigs and marginal lands for cows, goats and sheep there would be 20grams of animal protein per person per day available around the world
- We have to eat less animal based proteins
- Why take 10kg of grain which could feed 10 people, feed it to chickens and feed 2-4 people with it?
- First sell then produce (in this case through a 5 year agreement with the Lidl)
- Why feed organic grains (which could feed humans) to an animal?
- Scale is key to have an impact- Catching all the fine dust from stable
- Manure is dried and sent to farms
- Roosters are not killed immediately (like the industry standard) but grown to become chicken hamburgers (also bough by the Lidl)
- Climate neutral egg using solar energy
- The eggs are sold for prices between organic and free range
- Consumers are ready to pay for food but you have to explain
