This week’s edition takes us from urgent warnings about the global food system to new frontiers in technology and leadership shaping the protein space. Let’s dive in…
A new report warns that the way people in the UK eat is fueling biodiversity loss worldwide, linking high meat and dairy consumption to extinction risk. Could shifting diets at home make the biggest difference abroad?
In leadership news, a well-known environmental expert has been appointed to head one of the sector’s most influential organizations, bringing decades of experience in forests, climate, and sustainability to the alternative protein movement.
On the innovation side, one start-up is finding ways to unlock animal-free dairy proteins through precision technology, offering a path to sustainable and scalable ingredients without relying on the cow.
Meanwhile, another team is focused on seafood, advancing cell-based methods to recreate the taste and texture of fish without the environmental pressures of industrial aquaculture.
We also take a closer look at mycoprotein, where researchers and product developers are working to enhance its sensory qualities. Could better taste and texture be the key to unlocking wider adoption?
In boardroom developments, a veteran of agricultural biotechnology has joined a fast-growing alternative protein company, bringing deep expertise to support strategy and scale-up.
And finally, a legal analysis explores the uneven global regulatory landscape for cultivated meat, highlighting both barriers and opportunities as the sector works toward commercialization.
