“Data science helps us to filter ideas, so that we can explore those that are the best, but still uncertain, and not waste time finding answers to questions that are not really that important,” said Morten Arendt Rasmussen in a recent news article.
If food research can save years in finding the solutions that will create a more sustainable food system where we predominantly eat plant-based foods, it will be much needed. This requires an extensive research effort because plant proteins behave radically differently from animal proteins.
