According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), global food production will need to increase by 56% if the population reaches 9.7 billion by 2050. To meet this demand, there is a recognised need for sustainable food supply chains that rely less on animal protein. Social, demographic, economic and environmental factors are driving alternative protein exploration: rapid population growth, environmental costs of animal farming, a growing global middle-class, shifting consumer preferences and health awareness, all play their part. Plant-based or fermented protein options are no longer niche consumer trends. Alternative protein is going mainstream. This landscape aims to showcase the startups moving the needle in the alt protein space organized by their key output (meat, dairy & eggs or seafood substitutes). This landscape is part of the research conducted on the Alternative Protein report, produced in collaboration with the Chair of Entrepreneurship at the University of St.Gallen and published in November 2021.
