Feeding a growing population in a sustainable manner requires an overhaul of existing food systems. Substituting meat for meat alternatives could help reduce global agricultural land use and associated emissions.

 

Need to know

  • The transition to new food systems has far-reaching potential ramifications and stands to significantly alter how we approach the production, distribution, and consumption of foods
  • Microbial precision fermentation produces proteins that replicate the desired characteristics of animal proteins
  • Cultivating animal cells directly cuts out the land and water use required to rear livestock, and emits fewer emissions

In our latest thematic case study, we analyse some of the newer business models emerging in the field of alternative proteins: precision fermentation and cultivated meat. These two alternatives are attracting interest as they present potential solutions to meet the growing global demand for proteins in a sustainable way.
