00:20 methods for extracting the protein that now can serve as what they say is a more environmentally
00:25 friendly alternative. Reuters reports that soy farming has been closely linked to deforestation.

00:35 Wide open agriculture and the Australian government say lupins have the potential to become a more
00:41 mainstream protein alternative.
