Handing Down a Green Earth to Future Generations
Producing delicious and environmentally-friendly food.
I wonder what the earth look like in 2050. Will it be lush and green? Will there be vast expanses of nature in all its graceful beauty? Will the blue seas be calm and tranquil? Will many forms of life be coexisting with humanity?
We’ve gone from a time when there were no cell phones, no social media, and no self-driving cars to generative AI, ChatGPT, manned rockets, flying cars, and more.... Technological innovation knows no bounds. The human race's skills will undoubtedly create innovations taking us into the unknown in our own lifetime. On the other hand, the global environment in which we live is also being forced to transform. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been accompanied by a great upheaval in the world today, and we are reexamining the global environment. Moreover, a protein crisis caused by global population growth is an issue that people everywhere will face in the near future, and it is an issue that cannot be avoided.
DAIZ Inc. will continue to pursue this mission to prepare for and alleviate the coming protein crisis as well as save the global environment under the philosophy of "Plant meat for the world" by offering plant-based food through technological innovation.
