Reimagining protein
Our vision: A thriving world, fed sustainably
Billions of people around the world love meat and want to keep eating more of it. Simply ramping up business-as-usual ways of producing that meat, however, is not a viable path if we want to achieve the world’s climate, biodiversity, public health, and food security goals within the next two critical decades.
While multiple interventions will be needed, a transition toward alternative proteins—made from plants, cultivated from animal cells, or produced via fermentation—is the only one that can scale to address the demand for meat. Such a transition can dramatically reduce emissions, feed more people with fewer resources, reduce the use of antibiotics in our food system, and enable the conservation of lands and waters.
The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit, science-driven think tank and international network of organizations accelerating alternative protein innovation for the benefit of people, the planet, and animals. We advance the science, policy, and private sector commitment needed to make alternative proteins as delicious and affordable as conventional meat, addressing consumer demands while building a far more sustainable food future.
As a donor-powered global network, GFI is unlocking the knowledge and resources needed to transform how meat is made—satisfying rising food demand in ways that accelerate climate progress, protect animals and ecosystems, and strengthen public health.

What are alternative proteins?
Given how essential alternative proteins are to a more resilient global food system, the term needs to be universally understood, on the tip of more tongues, and at the top of more agendas.

Science
We cultivate a strong scientific ecosystem and develop open-access research and resources.
Policy
We advocate for greater public investments in and fair policies for alternative proteins.
Industry
We engage across the private sector to advance alternative proteins as market-based solutions to global challenges.
Our global network
We work in the most critical economies and regions for alternative protein advancement: Asia Pacific, Brazil, Europe, India, Israel, Japan, and the United States. These countries and regions have robust scientific ecosystems and governments that are committed to using innovation to solve global problems.
