⚖️ Despite impressive commitments made by global governments in 2023, public investment in alternative proteins falls short of key targets. Learn more in this insightful piece featuring GFI's Michael Carter: https://bit.ly/3WVgxsI According to our 2023 State of Global Policy Report, global public investment in alternative proteins grew in 2023, totaling an estimated $523 million, for an all-time investment total of $1.67 billion. While governments around the world stepped up their commitments to alt proteins, the amount invested in the sector is a tiny fraction of the $10.1 billion needed for alternative proteins to realize their full economic and climate benefits, highlighted by a 2021 Global Innovation Needs Assessment for Protein Diversity. Learn more about this public funding gap and what global governments can do to prioritize public investment in #alternativeproteins in our 2023 State of Global Policy Report 👉 https://bit.ly/3JPlKeS).

👏 🇸🇪 Exciting! Swedish startup Millow.co has been awarded a €2.4 million grant to support scaling up production of their fermentation-enabled meat analogs made from 50% mycelium and 50% oats. Details 👉 https://bit.ly/3YA7ZZr Awarded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator and the SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), the grant unlocks an opportunity for Millow to receive up to €15 million in equity funding from the European Investment Bank, contingent on the startup securing additional investments from private investors. Millow utilizes a proprietary dry #fermentation technology, combined with in-house S-units and a unique bioreactor production process. According to the company, this approach enables them to achieve efficiency and economies of scale more quickly than traditional fermentation methods. It's great to see Millow secure public investment to scale their innovative efficient production process with a clear roadmap for securing additional funding to grow their business!

GFI senior lead cultivated meat and seafood scientist Claire Bomkamp, PhD, contributed to a recent review paper published in the Journal of Biological Engineering outlining how, with sufficient government investment, cultivated seafood can address growing global demand for seafood while minimizing the climate and biodiversity impacts of seafood consumption. This review addresses the biomaterials, production processes, tissue engineering approaches, processing, quality, safety, regulatory, and social aspects of cell-cultivated seafood, encompassing where we are today, as well as the road ahead.

🚜 A recent analysis of at-risk ecosystems in the United States found that nearly half are threatened due to agricultural expansion*. One way to restore American ecosystems? Reimagine our food system. 🌱 The new analysis shows that a 50% shift toward alternative proteins—meat made from plants, cultivated from cells, and produced via fermentation—could enable the restoration of cropland acreage in 64% of threatened ecosystems, including grasslands, forests, and wetlands. ➡️ This shift would enable the restoration of 47.3 million acres of land, representing 13% of the U.S. National Task Force’s goal of restoring 30% of lands and waters by 2030.

🚨 BREAKING: In May, the state of Florida passed an unconstitutional law banning the sale of cultivated meat. Yesterday, Institute for Justice and UPSIDE Foods filed a lawsuit to challenge that law. Details: https://bit.ly/4dlxAKm GFI applauds the effort to challenge Florida's explicit attempt to protect in-state special interests at the expense of out-of-state competitors. This ill-advised and unconstitutional law hampers economic innovation and denies consumers access to new, sustainable food options. Consumers should be free to choose what they want to eat—including American-made cultivated meat that’s been rigorously inspected and ruled safe by the USDA and FDA—without interference from politicians. This lawsuit seeks to protect fair market competition and consumer choice.
