New Horizons in Food Production Suggests Protein Focus
OSU agricultural engineer K A Harkness told the Ninth Annual Agricultural Marketing Conference that solving world hunger requires valuing crops by protein yield not just traditional staples. He cited extracting protein from newspaper, marsh grass, algae, and weeds with microbes, noting torula yeast could produce 6000 to 7000 pounds of protein per 1000 pounds in 24 hours, far exceeding meat. He urged meadow fertility via soil tests, nitrogen on grass meadows, and targeted phosphorus and potash for legume-rich meadows, warning of alfalfa weevil threats and the need for ongoing control measures in 1967 and 1968.
