Aggregating data for alternative seafood
Claire Bomkamp, PhDUse our open-access databases to explore how scientific taxonomies and evolutionary relationships map onto culinary categories of seafood.
Cultivated
Expanding access to cell lines
Claire Bomkamp, PhDLimited access to cell lines is a significant challenge for cultivated meat research. GFI is working to expand access and support the development of new cell lines.
Contract Manufacturing Database
Zak WestonUse this directory to find co-manufacturers, co-packers, private labelers, and contract manufacturing consultants for alt proteins.
ISSCR Seminar Series: Stem Cells and Global Sustainability
The fourth and final program of the series will highlight the potential and the challenges of cell-based approaches to meat and fish alternatives from experts in the field and industry.
The Science of Alt. Protein: Developing optimized media for cultivated meat production with Dr. David Block
Join Dr. David Block, Professor at the University of California, Davis, on February 24th for a review of his GFI-funded research project on the application of optimization tools to achieve low-cost cultivated meat production.
Advocating for fair labeling
Fair public policy is essential for alternative proteins to succeed. Learn how we're working for policy that places all proteins on a level playing field.
Ensuring a clear path to market
Cultivated meat must have an efficient regulatory path to market to be successful. Learn how GFI advocates clear and efficient regulations.
Pooled procurement/group purchasing for ingredients and inputs
Many alternative protein companies use similar inputs, but individually lack the purchasing power to negotiate favorable contract terms. A pooled procurement/group purchasing mechanism for ingredients, inputs (growth factors, media, etc.), and feedstocks would help reduce costs and increase industry leverage.
Cultivated meat co-product valorization
Animal cell metabolism within cultivators can produce useful co-product side streams that provide monetary value to the manufacturer while creating a novel source of inputs for other industries. Potential side streams should be identified and analyzed for their utility and economic viability, in addition to developing methods for efficient side stream capture.
Securing government funding
Government support will accelerate the growth of alternative proteins. Learn how GFI works to secure public funds for alternative protein research.
