Alternative Protein

Alternative protein refers to non-traditional sources of protein that can replace or supplement animal-based products. These include plant-based options like beans, lentils, and soy, as well as lab-grown (cultivated) meats and proteins derived from fungi or insects. They aim to provide sustainable, ethical, and environmentally friendly ways to meet global protein needs, reducing reliance on traditional livestock farming, which has significant environmental impacts. As technology advances, alternative proteins are becoming more realistic in taste, texture, and nutritional value, offering consumers more choices for a healthy and sustainable diet.
