🇰🇷 Umami Bioworks is partnering with two biotech firms to set up a production pipeline for cultivated seafood in South Korea after the country established a regulatory approval process for cultivated meat last year. More details: https://bit.ly/3zMiHlM Umami Bioworks has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with biotech firm KCell Biosciences and bioprocess solutions provider WSG to set up a production line and path to market entry in South Korea, one of the world's leading consumer markets of seafood. Not only has South Korea begun inviting applications for regulatory approval of cultivated meat products, but its Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is also investing $21MM in research funding for its plant-based and cultivated seafood tech. It's great to see South Korea supporting the growth and evolution of its sustainable protein sector!

🌱 With food and agriculture accounting for roughly one-third of all global emissions, it was great to see food system transformation on the agenda at #ClimateWeekNYC! A few highlights: 🍽️ GFI founder and president Bruce Friedrich attended The New York Times Changemaker Lunch to connect with other climate leaders on the role our food system plays in the global climate crisis and how #alternativeproteins can be a highly effective climate mitigation strategy. [📸: Ben Norman] More here: https://nyti.ms/4eS983H 💸 Bruce also participated in a panel discussion hosted by Giving Green about high-impact areas for climate giving. 🌎 GFI's Shayna Fertig joined industry experts at McKinsey & Company's panel titled: Breaking the Barriers to Scale Biotech Solutions as Climate Intervention to discuss how #alternativeproteins can be a game-changing solution to reducing global emissions. 📌 As Shayna shares: "Food was firmly on the agenda at this year's New York Climate Week! Multiple events and panels focused on the need to transform our food system to work better for people and the planet, and the need to reduce our reliance on industrial animal agriculture. Alternative proteins were highlighted as one of a number of key solutions to help us achieve these goals." 💚 Thanks to all who facilitated, participated, and attended these impactful, solutions-focused discussions about how we can collectively shape a more sustainable food future!

🔥 Check out GFI's first column for Nature Magazine on how the Asia-Pacific region is leading the charge in alternative protein development, investment, and scientific progress. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZZkkiGd “Meat production is long overdue for an upgrade,” say co-authors Ryan Huling, Wasamon Nutakul, PhD, Samuel Goh, and Doris Lee. “Asian innovation hubs have the capacity, workforce, and incentives to achieve taste parity for plant-based meat, resolve technical challenges, and take cultivated meat from test kitchens to supermarkets around the world.” While harnessing the full potential benefits of #alternativeproteins is both a scientific and a commercial challenge, many countries in the region are leaning in with government funding initiatives to accelerate innovation in the field. Between 2020 and 2023, researchers in the Asia-Pacific region published more than 400 papers aimed at closing alternative protein knowledge gaps—nearly twice the U.S. scientific output in the same period. In total, Singapore has invested 24 times as much public funding as a percentage of its gross domestic product into protein innovation as the United States has. "Now that Asia’s political leaders have embraced the ‘what’ and ‘why’ of alternative proteins, scientists have been tasked with answering the ‘how’," add the column's co-authors.
In Asia, alternative proteins are the new clean energy
