What can non-profits do to advance #AlternativeProtein?

💰 Non-profits push for fair regulations and work to redirect government funding, for example Danish Vegetarian Foundation.

🔬 Non-profits fund research and connect researchers to drive alt protein innovation, for example The Good Food Institute.

🐄 Non-profits educate the public on the issues with factory farming, for example The Humane League and Sinergia Animal.

This article shows why it's important that non-profits get involved in developing #AlternativeProtein solutions.

It’s a problem that alt proteins don’t compete on a level playing field. The factory farming industry has stacked the deck. The goal however isn’t just to level the playing field, but to shift the advantage in the other direction.

Compare it to renewable energy. Early investments in solar would just not have made money, but now it’s a thriving industry.

The Finnish company Solar Foods is introducing #Solein: a protein powder created from a single microbe, grown using only air and and renewable electricity. It has a 78% protein content with all nine essential amino acids, iron & vitamin B12.

I hope to be able to try this out soon in the EU! 🇪🇺

This #NHK video on farming #silkworm for food really surprised me, never heard about it before.

#Fibroin (silk protein) is extracted from silk cocoon fibres: just a small amount of it gives food a softer, moister texture, and helps to bring out the flavour of other ingredients. (relevant part starts at 9:00, but it is worth watching the whole video, only 13 min long)

Cannot resist to share some #NHK videos I saw recently on this subject.

Many people are happy and grateful to have #insects as part of a satisfying meal. I was surprised that some insects (e.g. palm weevil) are eaten for their high fat content (60%).

A very interesting video (28 min long).

So let's feature some of these #AlternativeProtein innovators, 3 different types of businesses from 3 continents.

This is #SolarFoods from Finland, a company making ‘Food Out Of Thin Air’.

"On the outskirts of Helsinki, a pioneering factory is harvesting natural, scalable proteins all from fermented bacteria."

The article explains the necessity and inevitability of providing money and political clout behind these new technologies and help them scale-up ASAP. Also highlights their positive effects on the environment and humans.

This article is a fantastic summary of the type of #CultivatedFood #innovation needed. ❤️

It also depicts a worrying political environment where the public will have to speak up and demand legal and financial support for #AlternativeProtein.

The #LivestockFarming lobbyists and their lapdog politicians will never stop. They've been living on their taxpayer funded subsidies for so long that the sheer thought of something new and better freaks them out.

I agree that governments should fund innovation in food production as long as it is for sustainable #AlternativeProtein, but these funds should go to startups and researchers and into protecting patents and new technologies from being monopolised by corporations.

Corporations have enough money of their own to invest and innovate to enter these markets, and they should, it's a great new business opportunity. Also, they could support #CultivatedFood approval/acceptance with their lobbying power.
