Answer: (d) (i) and (ii) only
• The shift from grain to meat
diets also creates more demand for cereals as it takes 3-10 Kg of grain to
produce 1 Kg of meat by animal farming.
• More than 25 per cent of
human population is suffering from hunger and malnutrition.
•One of the
alternate sources of proteins for animal and human nutrition is Single
Cell Protein (SCP).
•Microbes are being grown on an industrial scale as source of good
protein.
• Blue-green algae like Spirulina can be grown easily on materials
like waste water from potato processing plants (containing starch), straw,
molasses, animal manure and even sewage, to produce large quantities
and can serve as food rich in protein, minerals, fats, carbohydrate and
vitamins. Incidentally such utilisation also reduces environmental
pollution
•Certain bacterial species like Methylophilus methylotrophus, because
of its high rate of biomass production and growth, can be expected to
produce 25 tonnes of protein.
•The fact that edible mushrooms are eaten
by many people and large scale mushroom culture is a growing industry
•Common button mushrooms are
a very rich source of vitamin D
•. A rice variety has
been developed which is very rich in iron content.
