Governments and private investors around the world need to rapidly ramp up financing for alternative proteins to help the industry scale and maximise its climate-mitigation potential, GFI APAC's @MirteGosker tells @CNBC: https://t.co/kOjtfB5L1v
Ryan Huling is the author of 'The Hidden Nations of Animals.' In this essay, adapted from his book, he discusses how our understanding of civilizations applies to animals

The gov has also been proactive about disseminating regulatory best practices with other countries, in an effort to develop a more standardised regional rulebook for novel foods like cultivated meat. โ

However, Singapore is taking tangible steps to de-risk the sector, as demonstrated by the recent launch of the Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein at @NUSingapore, which will conduct open-access scientific R&D aimed at resolving technical bottlenecks. ๐ฌ
Gosker says that, โThis potent combination could deliver a flavour punch that closes the taste and price gap with conventional meatโwith a tiny fraction of the carbon footprintโand provides a template that can be replicated around the world.โ
As Ingredients Network notes, institutions like Singaporeโs Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein are exploring breakthrough โhybridโ formulations that blend nutrient-dense plant proteins with small amounts of cultivated meat or fat to develop scalable models for such foods.
Life-cycle assessments show that by harnessing protein directly from plants, microbes, and cultivated animal cells, rather than feeding massive amounts of crops to animals, alternative protein products can reduce meatโs greenhouse gas emissions by up to 98 percent. โฌ๏ธ
๐ธ๐ฌ โIn an era when protein production is under greater strain than ever, we must all look to countries like Singapore, which are pioneering technologies that make more with less.โ - GFI APACโs @MirteGosker

Interested? Watch this recording of our recent information session (https://t.co/cUu7qMEj2w) or browse through our website to check your fit for the Alt Protein Project (https://t.co/fSBED7MfAT).
ICYMI: We are accepting applications for GFIโs student-led Alt Protein Project (APP) till 28 March! ๐งโ๐
๐ The APP is a global movement dedicated to turning universities into engines for alternative protein education, research, and innovation.

Some groups have chosen to design course materials and advocate for alternative protein curriculum development, while others work with principal investigators and researchers to start alternative protein-enabling research or launch alt protein startups. ๐
As cultivated meat scales, safety remains a top priority. More research is needed to refine contamination control strategies and maximise the technologyโs safety benefits.
