Overview

How we hope to democratise food.

What is Amybo?

Amybo is a diverse community of people interested in unlocking the secrets of protein fermentation. Our aim is that anyone will be able to produce tasty, nutritious protein at a lower financial cost and much lower environmental cost than by raising animals to eat.

What are we doing now?

Initially, we have quite a list of questions to answer:

  1. Which single cell protein should we ferment first?
  2. What equipment will we need to ferment it?
  3. How should we share our results to best accelerate open source development?
  4. How can we ensure that the products we make are safe to eat?

You are invited to join us in creating pages on this site addressing these issues (and any other’s we haven’t yet thought of)

Next steps

  1. Pick a protein producing microbe to cultivate
  2. Pick a bioreactor to cultivate it with
  3. Conduct initial risk assessment (each subsequent step will start with a risk assesment)
  4. Design/build/procure the bioreactor
  5. Dry commission the bioreactor
  6. Wet commission the bioreactor
  7. Live commision the bioreactor
  8. Cultivate the protein producing microbe
  9. Determine next steps required to produce safe nutricious delicious protein
