1. A feed control system for a fermentation system, the feed control system comprising a feed controller comprising a processor and an interface, wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain a biomass content in a fermentation broth based on first sensor data from a first sensor device;
determine a carbon input parameter based on the biomass content comprising determining a feed rate indicative of a carbon feed rate per biomass and determining a carbon input parameter based on the feed rate and the biomass content; and
control a carbon input to the fermentation broth according to the carbon input parameter.
