Who doesn&#8217;t love it? We are all too eager to continue eating dairy. Yet, we know that something has to change in the food industry. \u201cA cow needs over 50.000 calories and more than 150 liters of water to produce 25 liters of milk. So, it is clear that the cheese-making process of today is far from efficient\u201d, states Van der Kaa, during an event at Dutch Innovation Days called How to Revolutionize the Dairy Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the revolution in the dairy industry: The Stainless Steel Cow #iox #dairyfree #cheese\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hySKgZM4zA4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Animal-free cheese<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of vegan cheeses you encounter at the supermarket are made, for example, with cashew nuts or coconut oil. That means the taste is not the same compared to regular cheese. However, Those Vegan Cowboys takes a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Kaa explains: \u201cWe start with grass and feed it to our stainless steel cow we call Margaret. This machine produces casein, an important protein for cheese that is normally found in animal milk. This gives the cheese its distinctive flavor. So our cheese tastes exactly the same as the cheese you already know.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-ed777559\"><a href=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/en\/tag\/did23\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"The Heart of Dutch Innovation\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cropped-Hexagon-Innovation-Origins_small_square_512.png\" style=\"max-width: 150px; max-height: 150px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">The Heart of Dutch Innovation<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">Read the whole series of articles about Dutch Innovation here<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.ioplus.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/hille-van-der-kaa-1004x753.jpeg\" alt=\"Hille van der Kaa, Chief Operational Cowboy\" class=\"wp-image-446556\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hille van der Kaa, Chief Operational Cowboy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the fact that animal-free cheese is made with fewer calories and less water, it has other advantages. It resolves animal welfare issues, there are no methane emissions, and a significant amount of land could be freed up when moving towards a plant-based dairy industry. \u201cCurrently, 30 percent of all the land on earth is used for agriculture. Most of it is used for animal farming. Let\u2019s use our land more efficiently so that we have enough space to feed the growing population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A family of farmers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Kaa comes from a family of farmers. At every family meeting, someone always asks her whether she wants to destroy their industry. \u201cI love my family, and I certainly don\u2019t want to destroy their business\u201d, she explains. But the system we have right now cannot stay.\u201d And for farmers, animal-free cheese is an opportunity rather than a threat, she thinks. \u201cWe still need grass and farmers in the future. It\u2019s just a different type of farming. I think we all have a bright future ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link advgb-dyn-b8f0b6f4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/en\/student-teams-unveil-latest-details-at-dutch-innovation-days\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Student teams unveil latest details at Dutch Innovation Days\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Student teams unveil latest details at Dutch Innovation Days<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">A lightning-fast racing motorcycle, an advanced drone, and hypersensitive biosensors.
