Lipid Nanoparticles
Reliable Transport
High tech is coming to the fore in the struggle against viruses and bacteria. Modern vaccines transport genetic information from pathogens into target human cells in order to trigger an immune reaction there. The transportation of these “blueprints” requires tiny lipid nanoparticles of the kind that Evonik is producing in Canada

Nutrition
A plentiful and sustainable diet
Nearly ten billion people will be living on the planet in 2050—but what will all these people eat? Far-reaching changes will have to be made—and quickly—if a sufficient amount of healthy food is to be made available to the world’s population without putting excessive strain on the Earth’s natural resources
