Did you know that shifting to Alternative Proteins could free up over 47 million acres of U.S. cropland? This transformation would allow for large-scale ecosystem restoration, helping reach climate and biodiversity goals.

A recent KPMG study found that nearly half of UK office workers consider ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors when choosing jobs, especially younger employees. They often reject job offers based on poor ESG records.

The Alternative Protein sector is emerging as the keystone on the path for sustainable food solutions, offering diverse career opportunities across various roles, from scientific research to business development.

Could Alternative Proteins solve the climate crisis? The livestock sector is responsible for 12-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with meat making up 60% of the food system’s emissions — twice as much as plant-based foods.

With our planet's resources dwindling and our environment being threatened, we have to rethink the way we source our food, especially protein. If you're a scientist looking for impactful uses of your skills, there's never been a better time to invest in that future.

Alternative Proteins are an exciting intersection of food science, technical innovation and consumer demand. But what exactly has catapulted them into the spotlight?
