🌱 Introducing Prof. Eva Tornberg, the Food Hero who’s pioneering potato power 🥔🔬
In honor of International Potato Day just a few days ago, and World Plant Milk Day yesterday, let's delve into Eva's extraordinary achievements. As the driving force behind Veg of Lund AB and its scientific food innovation endeavors at Lund University, Eva and her team are on a mission to transform potatoes into a sustainable protein solution. Who could have imagined this kitchen staple holding the key to future food security?
With a passion for cutting-edge ideas, Eva's journey led to the creation of DUG Drinks, a velvety plant-based drink sourced from potatoes. Yet her innovation knows no bounds. She cracked the code to develop a meat alternative using the very same spuds!
For Eva, sustainability is more than a concept; it's a compass guiding her towards innovative methods of producing nourishing, energy-rich foods. "Research doesn’t follow a set course," she emphasizes. With resilience and a penchant for crossword puzzles during downtime, Eva is reshaping the culinary landscape and urging us to embrace the unknown.
