AI and Big Data to Help Feed the WorldBy 2050, the United Nations says, we're going to need 70 percent more food to feed the nine billion people living on Earth. Global climate change threatens to upend their lives—worsening storms, droughts, heat waves and crop diseases. What kind of a world will we leave to our grandchildren?
Menker cannot change the world alone. But the firm she started, Gro Intelligence, is providing information that food companies, insurers, lenders and policymakers use to make food production more efficient, and perhaps help protect against that tipping point.
Gro has sounded alerts on African swine fever in China , locust infestation in East Africa in 2020 and global inflation in food prices—worsened in the short term by COVID and long term by climate disruption. History is filled, of course, with predictions of disaster that never happened. And Menker says there are many things the world can do now. America and Europe, for instance, enjoyed a so-called green revolution in the last century—doubling or tripling food output because of new crops and farming methods. India has had one, too. No countries in Africa have yet, but they still can.
Hsu and her team created an eco-friendly, worker-safe bioengineered alternative by programming microbes to mimic the way color compounds occur in nature,the same blue shade as indigo. Huue's dye can be manufactured in existing factories, making it easily adoptable within the industry. This fall, Huue partnered with biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks to ramp up production and plans to begin shipping dye to designers early next year.
