Modern agriculture faces challenges related to environmental impact, resource depletion, and the need for sustainable protein sources. Traditional farming methods often rely on significant inputs of fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, leading to environmental degradation and resource scarcity. The livestock industry also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and water scarcity, necessitating alternative protein sources.

Future Food Research and Development Center is developing closed-loop agricultural systems that minimize environmental impact while enhancing food safety and sustainability. The company focuses on environment-friendly agriculture, cultivating high-yield crops like dwarf rice and protein-rich insects as alternative food sources. By utilizing waste from crop cultivation to feed insects, the company aims to create a circular system that reduces waste and minimizes the need for external inputs. Their approach includes developing closed agriculture systems that can be implemented in urban environments, such as utilizing empty office spaces.
