Introduction
Unprecedented population growth, increasing conflict and displacement, natural calamities and emergence of major epidemics are some of the factors that will compound complexities of global food security over the coming years.
The next global food crisis is predicted to occur within four years by experts at the recent Third International Conference on Global Warming and Food Security.
Methods
In the face of these facts, any technique that can improve food production would be a welcome development. To counteract the coming problem, it is imperative to try novel and daring solutions across the agricultural food chain.
Replicating the processes of nature through which the food chain is integrated remains a formidable challenge. It seems simple to combine CO2 and water to form carbohydrates and other useful molecules for nutrition such as amino acids, and lipids, as plants do it every day.
Results
We found a novel technique to manipulate photosynthesis to produce more food arising from CO2 and water. A product with natural SAP characteristics is obtained.
The product we currently obtain is comparable to artificial sap, and each 100 ml 0.47 g of proteins, lipids (unsaturated) 0.70 g, carbohydrates 5.43 g; Sodium 12.81 mg, Calcium 313.72 mg, Iron 18.75 mg. Every 100 ml of Artificial SAP® provides 29.90 kcal.
Discussion
Our discovery of the intrinsic property of melanin to dissociate the water molecule represents a watershed in the problem of food production, since it allows to produce nutritious substances in the laboratory in an efficient and practical way. Avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, waste water, and does not require the use of large tracts of land.
Artificial sap can be used for human and animal feed, or biofuel production, without competing with human food. The manufacturing process is patented in Russia and Canada, pending in other countries.
