The Good Food Institute’s Post

Explore the dynamic landscape of the alternative protein industry with The Good Food Institute's interactive global map! ➡️ https://ecosystem.gfi.org/. 🗺️ The ecosystem map is a new resource that allows users to easily visualise and interact with geographical “hot spots” of activity in our sector worldwide, from Singapore to Seoul to Sydney. This resource aims to equip people across the change-making continuum—including students, scientists, policymakers, donors, investors, and companies—to learn about, explore, and meaningfully connect with clusters of activity in their region of interest. 📍 If you are an alt protein company or researcher wanting to be added to the map, submit through our “Add a Pin” button in the upper-right-hand corner of the map: https://ecosystem.gfi.org/.

At LEC, we’ve been working with world-class clients and helping drive real-world results in the bioeconomy for over 25 years. In the case study below, LEC presents the Competitive Analysis of Alternative Protein Market – the challenges, our approach to the solution, and client benefits. https://lnkd.in/e6-zywKn #marketanalysis #alternativeproteins #casestudy

In today's rapidly evolving food industry, CPG companies face a critical challenge: staying ahead of agricultural and food technology trends reshaping the entire food supply chain, from farm to fork. Its essential to understand the potential of emerging ag- and food-tech categories to disrupt traditional business models. However, the expertise required to navigate this complex landscape of ag-food tech often lies beyond the scope of most CPG food companies. LEC's recent case study on alt-proteins is particularly smart and forward-thinking. They don't just look at direct competitors in the alternative protein space; they broaden their scope to include adjacent industries. And they look at the time and resources needed for those companies to scale in a meaningful way. A comprehensive view is crucial in an industry where innovation can come from unexpected places - one company's threat will surely be another company's opportunity! The methodology offers key lessons in what CPGs should loik ayt when assessing emerging tech: 🏁 Technology capability and viability 🚧 Barriers to entry 🏭 Production capacity ⏲ Potential timeline for cost parity 🏢 Regulatory barriers As we move forward, CPG food companies that want to thrive will need to either develop this expertise in-house or partner with firms that can provide these critical insights. The food industry is no longer just about branding, recipes and packaging - it's about understanding and leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet changing consumer demands and stay competitive. How is your organization staying ahead of these trends? #FoodIndustry #AgTech #FoodTech #CPG #Innovation

Are you also curious about the achievements of the EU-funded Smart Protein Project? As a former member of the consortium, I am looking forward to participating in the closing conference to learn more about the latest innovations! Looking forward to meeting you there: #SmartProteinEU

Spontaneous thought: why such a low fraction? Bioidentical!! Anyway, we should be happy that the fraction is so high, I guess. Very likely, in Germany the fraction is lower, although this is a wild guess. All the best for pushing the technology. Lars Blank PS: what is the price for such a protein realistically reachable? This number will determine a lot!! #sustainability #microbiology #biotechnology

💪Larissa Pferdmenges from Max Rubner-Institut is kicking off our afternoon session "Protein Discussion Group: Redefining Protein Content in FCDBs". The methods used today for protein calculation are prone to overestimation, and they do not correspond to current scientific thinking. In this session, we discuss the shortcomings of the status quo and the next steps towards harmonisation of the protein definition and the update of nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors. #FoodForum2024 ℹ️ You can find out more about the activities of EuroFIR in our Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/eVmUwEri

Excellent work led by EuroFIR and Larissa! We at Quadram Institute are delighted to be able to contribute to shape the future of protein determination. For those of you that think that protein measurement is sorted, think again! Such an important work and one of the examples of EuroFIR power! #plantprotein #foodsustainability #foodcompositiondata

The last days, we have posted about the importance of narratives and how to prepare for misinformation campaigns. 📌 Words can open doors. Or close them. A small but very important distinction: We use terms like "complementary proteins" or "fermented or cultivated proteins" - not "alternative proteins". This terminology embodies what my takeaways from the previous days add up to: 📌 Use a language that helps depolarize the polarized world of protein transition. #Foodbiomanufacturing #complementaryproteins #proteintransition #alternativeprotein #proteindiversification
