The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) has agreed on plans to modernise how foods like cultivated meat and precision fermentation products come to market, paving the way to remove unnecessary delays.
From Portugal to Türkiye – students across Europe are taking a leading role in a global movement turning universities into dynamic engines for alternative protein innovation.
The results of a £15.6 million funding call round out a bumper year for British alternative protein researchers and entrepreneurs.
This year has been pivotal for alternative proteins, particularly in Europe. Here is our round-up of GFI Europe's 2023 highlights.
The UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has today highlighted the critical role that alternative proteins like cultivated meat can play in achieving key national objectives for economic growth and food production as part of the National Vision for Engineering Biology.
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.
The latest Horizon Europe deadlines are fast approaching, with calls offering exciting opportunities closing early in 2024. Our Research and Grants Manager Stella Child walks through the key calls for alternative protein researchers.
More than half of European consumers are eating less meat, but taste and price remain the biggest barriers to wider adoption of plant-based foods, a major study has found.
Companies have received €1.2 million in additional funding from EIT Food to develop innovative products to reduce the cost of producing cultivated meat within the next two years.
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.
