“High-impact projects fighting biodiversity loss” by Iska Knuuttila, Tandena Wagner

Cross-post from the EcoResilience Initiative blog. Recently we highlighted precision fermentation as our top biodiversity intervention due to its potential to permanently reduce deforestation within 5-10 years. The fact that it is currently underfunded, is highly scalable, is at a stage with high leverage, and could have a massive global impact makes it stand out above other methods to reduce future biodiversity loss. But within the domain of “precision fermentation” where is the best place to send donations? What efforts within this industry are most targeted towards biodiversity preservation? Terra Bioindustries is doing exactly the right work, but they're not set up for donations at this time. If you are looking for a place to donate right now, you can give to the Good Food Institute here, which supports the broader field. (If you donate, we request that you add a comment mentioning ERI in your donation or tell us you donated, so we can track our effect. Thank you for making the world a better place!) How we Chose: Current Bottlenecks There are several important blocks holding back the development of precision fermentation into a dominant food source. Here is a well-composed list of the current unsolved obstacles.
