GLOBAL CHALLENGE 1:
PLASTIC POLLUTION
Plastic waste harms life through ingestion and entanglement. It damages ecosystems and causes the death of a wide range of species. Plastics take hundreds of years to break down, persisting in the environment and continuing to cause harm. Plastic pollution is not limited to coastal areas; but spreads across entire ocean basins, affecting remote and pristine ecosystems.
In 2050 the oceans will weigh more in plastic than in fish

GLOBAL CHALLENGE 2:
FOOD SCARCITY
By 2050 the global food production needs to increase by 70%
Conventional protein production, primarily through livestock farming, relies heavily on land, water, and energy resources while contributing to deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and overuse of antibiotics. This unsustainable approach is not only environmentally damaging but also less efficient in meeting the rising global demand for protein as the world's population grows.
