INTRODUCTIONMobius Farms are about future proofing our food supply chain.
We are about sustainability and culture: agri-, aqua- and horti-culture. We believe there is a better way of utilizing the world's resources to produce food for a growing population. |
OUR ENVIRONMENT IS UNDER PRESSURE
We will need to increase food production by 70% to feed the population of 2050 "
- UN Food & Agriculture Organisation
A PROBLEM WORTH SOLVINGRESOURCES Water, land and energy are under increasing pressure. Food supply chains are becoming more and more competitive. We need to use what we have more sustainably. _______ PROTEIN Meeting the future domestic and international demands for protein is a significant challenge for Australian producers. The cost and supply of protein for livestock production is increasing. _______ CLIMATE CHANGE The impact of climate change is pressing. Inclement weather and natural disasters can significantly impact food supply chains. Meanwhile, the impact of food production and food waste on greenhouse gas emissions continues to grow. |
