Sustainable And Smart: A Masterclass In Alternative Protein Processing

Providing more sustainable food is a top priority globally - and reducing meat consumption can play a vital role in addressing this challenge. Meat demand can negatively impact local ecosystems and environmental commitments. Therefore, protein diversification via ‘smart’ proteins is essential to maintaining sustainable climate goals.

Alternative protein products, also known as smart proteins, can reliably replicate animal-derived meat, eggs, and dairy enabling protein diversification. Alternative protein sources address some of the most critical issues due to climate change, the environment and food security. A study conducted by Good Food Institute in conjunction with Deloitte predicts the Indian alternative protein market could reach $4.2 billion by 2030, providing significant growth opportunities.
