3D Printing technology in plant-based foods has become a topic of interest for food businesses and investors seeking the next big thing in the plant-based protein segment. It is prominently used in alt-meat production, and there are two sources from which alternative meat can be made using this technology. One source is plant-based ingredients such as soy, tofu, and pea protein. The other source includes lab-grown cells, which are cultivated from animal tissues. Apart from catering to a growing vegan population, the process is more environmentally friendly, using less water and land, and producing fewer GHG emissions as compared to traditional farming.
There have been interesting advancements in the industry by players like Foodys, COCUUS, Cargill, Cargill’s Food Solutions, Revo Foods, Steakholder Foods, Redefine Meat, Above Food, Forma Foods. On top of that, many studies are also underway, but regulations can become tricky when it comes to cultivated food. Written by Yuga Raut, the story is an interesting take on different technologies, partnerships, and more happening in the space.
