SCP is the name given to a variety of microbial products, that are produced by fermentation.

It has been calculated that 100 lbs of yeast will produce 250 tons of proteins in 24 hours, whereas a 1000 lbs steer will synthesize only 1lb of protein 24 hours and this after consuming 12 to 20 lbs of plant proteins.
