Among the world's food problems, the environmental impact of meat production is a major issue. Soybeans, rich in protein and long used in Japanese foods, could help. A newly developed Japanese soybean product is 100% plant-based but with all the texture of meat. To combat the problem of food waste, a Yamagata university developed technology to preserve foodstuffs nearing their expiration date. It makes a powder that can be instantly reconstituted with water and shaped with a 3D-printer. Care homes are also seeking to adopt this technology since it allows the elderly to eat many nutritious foods that were previously unsafe.
