It's time for policymakers to rethink their approach, and give the same level of priority to alternative proteins as they do to other promising biotech and cleantech fields.
We visited mycoprotein pioneers Quorn Foods and the Centre for Process Innovation, home to the UK’s National Industrial Biotechnology Facility, to see how effective public-private partnerships can accelerate alternative proteins.
A humble plant that grows in abundance across the planet is at the heart of a project aiming to transform the global protein supply.
Across Europe, researchers are finding new ways of using well-established technologies to develop sustainable fat with the same the complex flavour as conventional meat.
The Center for Innovation in Alternative Proteins (CiPA), based across various sites throughout the region, has been funded by the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the Institute of Agri-Food Research and Technology (IRTA).
With economic headwinds facing the food sector, conducting sorely needed research and development into healthy, sustainable foods is harder than ever for companies. We visited a pilot plant seeking to lower the hurdles for companies looking to bring such innovations from concept to consumer.
European governments have announced a grand total of nearly half a billion euros of funding to develop sustainable proteins according to new figures released by the Good Food Institute (GFI).
New Managing Director of GFI Europe Alex Mayers reflects on the road ahead for sustainable proteins: 'The next chapter in this crucial sector’s development will change lives, and we are in a position to author it.'
Ein neuer Report rät Unternehmen, die Fleisch auf pflanzlicher Basis herstellen, Anlagen und Gebäude aus anderen Bereichen der Lebensmittelindustrie umzurüsten und für die Produktion von pflanzlichem Fleisch zu nutzen, um sich auf die künftige Nachfrage einzustellen.
A new report says plant-based meat companies should reuse equipment and buildings built for other parts of the food industry to quickly scale up production in order to satisfy future demand.
