Global food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and land use. As an alternative conventional agriculture, the of waste-derived microbial protein (MP) holds promise for reducing environmental impacts. MP can be mass-produced in volumetrically scalable fermentation processes on short time scales, enabling facile scale-up with lower use, impacts than animal and, some cases, plant protein. also produced from waste feedstocks, diverting landfills or natural environment. This Perspective explores availability suitability feedstocks production, suggesting that generated United States could fulfill twice current national demand. We discuss biotechnological separations required produce food-grade human consumption waste. Key challenges include consistency, consumer regulatory acceptance, process utilities (electricity, heat, nutrients) account up 85% costs most impacts, all which present opportunities innovation microbiology design spaces. Overall, this work highlights potential contribute more circular, resilient, sustainable system.
