To meet growing global demand, meat production is estimated to nearly double by 2050. If the world is to achieve its climate, global health, food security, and biodiversity goals, making meat differently will be as essential as the global transition to renewable energy. This is why we need alternative proteins. Governments around the world are driving a renewable energy revolution, but research shows it will be impossible to meet the Paris Agreement goals without addressing the 20 percent of global emissions caused by animal agriculture.

 

Our work provides a rigorous foundation for advancing the fundamental scientific breakthroughs that enable alternative proteins to succeed. We analyze the industry to identify key knowledge gaps, allocate grant funding toward the highest-impact research projects, and cultivate an engaged community of scientists to forge collaborations and bolster the technical talent pipeline. We are charting a roadmap to overcome pre-competitive technical challenges through open-access research and accelerate the rate of progress across the alternative protein industry.
