Don’t miss our next seminar, where we’ll learn from two PhD students advancing innovative projects in alternative proteins.
Plant-Based
The Business of Alt Protein: Winning public funding
This presentation will equip alternative protein companies with the tools to identify and compete for major public grant funding in the U.S. and Europe.
Boosting food supply chain resilience
Using proven biomanufacturing methods like fermentation to produce protein can help ensure a stable food supply during supply chain disruptions.
U.S. loan and guarantee programs for scaling alternative proteins
Discover federal loan and loan guarantee programs that may be used to support alternative protein manufacturing and investment.
NAPIC Inaugural Conference 2025
The NAPIC Inaugural Conference aims to convene a diverse group of stakeholders—including industry leaders, innovators, researchers, investors, and policymakers—to explore and advance the latest developments in alternative protein innovation.
Beyond Meat’s Next Dish Won’t Imitate Beef, Pork, or Chicken
GFI's Jody Kirchner is quoted in Inc.'s piece on Beyond Meat’s new product and overall challenges for the plant-based meat industry
To FDA on labeling of plant-based milk alternatives and voluntary nutrient statements
GFI urges FDA to treat plant-based milks fairly and avoid any labeling scheme that would unfairly burden one class of products in the marketplace.
To HHS and USDA regarding the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
GFI urges the Departments to adopt the Committee’s recommended “Eat Healthy Your Way” dietary pattern in the 2025-2030 DGA, which builds on previous iterations of the DGA by encouraging people to consume more plant-based proteins while allowing for greater flexibility to meet the needs of American families.
California state programs
These California state grants, loan programs, and tax credits are likely relevant to the alternative protein industry. Companies should assess their eligibility for programs of interest.
