Protein - Population - Politics: How protein can be supplied sustainably in the 21 st century

Hunger is much more than not feeling full. Hunger can also mean a deficit of protein and amino acids as well as other micronutrients, such as macroelements, trace elements and vitamins. These nutritional deficits may cause illnesses and diseases, preventing affected people and populations from performing at their best and adding to the medical bill. Hunger and undernourishment can be seen as the fundamental causes of a spiral of underdevelopment – not tapping physical and mental potential – dissatisfaction and development of local and international tension.
