It’s a list that
makes my eyes light up. World Economic Forum is its resource. My favorite:
“Enhanced nutrition to drive health at the molecular level.
“Even in
developed countries millions of people suffer from malnutrition due to nutrient
deficiencies in their diets. Now modern genomic techniques can determine at the
gene sequence level the vast number of naturally consumed proteins which are
important in the human diet.
“The proteins
identified may have advantages over standard protein supplements in that they
can supply a greater percentage of essential amino acids, and have improved
solubility, taste, texture and nutritional characteristics.
“The large-scale
production of pure human dietary proteins based on the application of
biotechnology to molecular nutrition can deliver health benefits such as muscle
development, managing diabetes or reducing obesity.”
Other emerging
technologies on the list of 10 include self-healing materials and also energy-efficient water purification.See:
We’re overdue for a fun break. Let’s look in on a selection of
