Due to its historical ecosystem diversity and high concentration of forage cropland, the South presents an incredible biodiversity opportunity enabled by a shift to alt proteins. 📄 Download our Transforming Land Use report for more about restoration and carbon sequestration opportunities in the South and other regions of the U.S.: https://bit.ly/4ckiqnd This analysis shows that the South has the greatest number of threatened ecosystems that would benefit from restoration, due to the native ecosystem diversity of this region. A 50% shift to alternative proteins in the U.S. protein supply would create space to restore acreage in over 100 threatened ecosystems, mostly through restoration of forage cropland to forests and wetlands. The South also has the highest potential carbon sequestration of the regions analyzed in this study due to its high density of feed crop and forage cropland that could be restored to historic forest ecosystems.

✅ India's Union Cabinet has approved the Department of Biotechnology's #BioE3 policy focused on building a resilient bioeconomy, which explicitly calls out alternative proteins as a key pillar to this national strategy. With the overarching goal of fostering high-performance biomanufacturing in India, the policy will address national priorities through innovation-driven support in R&D and entrepreneurship across six thematic sectors including #alternativeproteins. In addition to prioritizing biomanufacturing in the region, the policy aims to expand India's skilled workforce and create new job opportunities. This is a massive victory for India's alt protein sector as the nation increasingly prioritizes alternative proteins as an essential solution needed to meet the world’s climate, global health, and food security goals. 🎉 Kudos to The Good Food Institute India's Sneha Singh and the rest of the GFI India team for their work getting alternative proteins on the agenda of policymakers in India!

The cultivated meat industry needs to overcome a number of challenges in the coming years to meet its scaling and production goals. GFI's director of scitech Matt Hotze spoke to Food Navigator during the Future Food-Tech Alternative Proteins conference about a few ways to address these challenges, including shifting to food-grade bioreactors, leveraging AI, and expanding public-private partnerships. Check out the conversation:
AI and food-grade bioreactors may improve margins on cultivated meat commercialization

A new study from GFI and WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development reveals that shifting the U.S. protein supply from animal-based foods to alternative proteins would enable a significant amount of land to be repurposed for habitat restoration and conservation as well as agroecological and regenerative farming/ranching. 🦔 Diversifying our protein supply would facilitate the restoration of cropland in approximately 138 of the 216 US ecosystems currently under threat. 🏞️ Alternative proteins create opportunities to maximize carbon sequestration through restoration of forests and lands along water bodies. 🌱 Alternative proteins can enable nature-based solutions (NbS) by improving land-use efficiency. WBCSD's latest blog explores these key report takeaways and highlights similar opportunities for alternative proteins in Europe and Brazil.

🎉 We're thrilled to share that our lead plant-based scientist Priera Panescu Scott, PhD has been named to the inaugural 2024 cohort of Top Agri-food Pioneers (TAP), a new initiative by the World Food Prize Foundation! This selection celebrates 38 global innovators transforming food systems, marking the Foundation’s 38th anniversary. 👏 Also representing the #alternativeprotein space in this cohort is Alpine Bio founder/CEO Magi Richani. This well-deserved recognition alongside a cohort of fellow awardees from around the world sends a clear message: Alternative proteins are an essential agricultural solution for global food system transformation. TAP spotlights pioneers of all ages, backgrounds, and career focuses, working in fields related to food and agriculture. As part of the first TAP cohort, Priera and Magi join a network of trailblazers dedicated to co-learning and collaboration across food systems that is paving the way for a more secure, healthy, and sustainable world!
