THE CHALLENGE

The need for sustainable, diverse and healthful food sources to feed the world's growing population is dire. To avert an impending crisis, it is imperative to develop food alternatives that are safer, more sustainable, and cruelty-free.

OUR SOLUTION

By developing the alternative proteins sector, we can minimize the amount of land, water and natural resources used for food production, and significantly reduce the GHG and pollutant emissions of the food industry.
