    This is such a great inititative. However, the taxonomy/categorization has issues. One major issue is how it deals with established and emerging technologies for sustainable food production such as alternative proteins, including: approaches to plant-based meat production, cultured meat, precision fermentation, and biomass protein production (single cell proteins, like Quorn or Solein). Right now it has two items:

    • production of alternative protein sources (e.g. insect farming, meat substitutes)
    • cellular agriculture to develop lab-grown meat

    However, I would argue each of the four categories I brought up is specific enough to have its own category, since they're very different from each other and in particular they're very different from insect farming which should not be categorized with them. Happy to discuss this more of needed.
