A new report has provided the clearest evidence yet that China is using its well-honed industrial muscle to scale alternative proteins – and should serve as a wake-up call for European governments.
Climate change and increasingly fragile supply chains are exposing the vulnerabilities of Europe’s food system. Diversifying protein production can help strengthen its resilience.
The European Commission’s latest strategy for food research includes positive references to diversifying protein supply and scaling up fermentation capacity, but fails to commit to funding the alternative protein research needed to achieve these aims.
Europe's food system is straining under record-breaking heatwaves – and driving this very heat. Protein diversification offers a way to break that cycle, cutting emissions while building resilience against the heat already here.
An international network linking Nordic researchers seeks to provide collaborative opportunities often missing in alternative protein science.
Droughts, epidemics, floods: climate change is already transforming Spain’s food system. Find out how alternative proteins can serve as a strategic tool to adapt to climate change and strengthen food security in Spain.
Continuing to meet the growing demand for meat with industrial farms is a recipe for disaster. Diversifying protein production is crucial to safeguard against new pandemics and antimicrobial resistance.
Alternative proteins could add €111 billion a year to the EU’s economy by 2040 if treated as a strategic priority, new research shows.
Axel Lundberg writes about undertaking an epic cycle ride across Europe, paying tribute to a close friend while raising money for the Good Food Institute.
