**Project title**: Future Food: Pathways for sustainable protein production
- **Location**: Stellenbosch University
- **Degree level**: Masters and PhD

How will we feed the world in the future, and what will the impact be on the environment? The world’s current food system has a large environmental footprint that requires significant amounts of natural resources like water and land, and uses high volumes of agricultural inputs and energy-intensive production methods. Intensive protein production systems have particularly high environmental impacts, which cannot be perpetuated if food production is to become more environmentally friendly. This project seeks to develop novel protein production pathways that are economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Through a modelling and simulation approach, promising protein production pathways will be weighed up and compared on the basis of technical and economic viability, and environmental impact.

The work will be completed by way of a simulation study at Stellenbosch University. The position is for full-time on-campus postgraduate studies within the Department of Process Engineering, and is fully funded. Stellenbosch University is one of the leading research institutions on the African continent and is known for its academic excellence and rich on-campus student experience. The position provides a unique opportunity to help develop solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems, and to work with some of the leading academics on the African continent. If you are independent, curiosity driven, innovative, and willing to work in an interdisciplinary environment, then this exciting position could be yours
