Alternative proteins, in various forms, are popping up in supermarkets, food trucks and even on the menus of Michelin-starred restaurants. But what are alternative proteins? How are they produced? And how do alternative proteins impact the carbon footprint of the food production industry?
Kris Wadrop, Managing Director of Materials at CPI, will answer all these questions and more in this episode of ‘Big Concepts in Brief’, focussing on cultivated meat as one of the many forms of alternative proteins.
Pressure on agriculture and other food sources is sharply increasing with the ever-growing human population. This puts even greater pressure on the food production industry to keep up with population needs and adapt to become more sustainable, minimising the effect of the climate crisis.
Alternative proteins present an innovative solution to ensure food security worldwide. However, several challenges, including production scale-up and high costs, still need to be overcome before they become a viable food option.
At CPI, we’re facing these challenges head-on with our state-of-the-art scale-up capabilities and expertise, enabling innovators to accelerate their alternative proteins to the market.
