Reimagining protein

Modernizing meat production

The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit working internationally to accelerate alternative protein innovation.

Globally, meat consumption is the highest it's ever been. According to the UN, global meat production is projected to double by 2050.

With plant-based meat, cultivated meat, and fermentation, we can mitigate the environmental impact of our food system, decrease the risk of zoonotic disease, and ultimately feed more people with fewer resources.

By making meat from plants and cultivating meat from cells, we can modernize meat production.

At GFI, we're building a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternative.

What are alternative proteins?

Given how essential alternative proteins are to a global protein transition, the term itself needs to be universally understood, on the tip of more tongues, and at the top of more agendas.

Developing the roadmap

Thanks to the support of our global family of donors, GFI is developing the roadmap for a sustainable, secure, and just protein supply. We identify the most effective solutions, advance open-access research, bring new talent to the field, and empower partners.
