“With a rapidly growing population and even more rapid growth in demand for protein, we need a sustainable, safe, and efficient way to feed the world. The solution lies in producing protein in a better way by creating meat directly from plants, cultivating cells, or using fermentation technology. Alternative proteins are critical to the future of food."
