The Science of Alt Protein: The mechanical signature of plant-based meat
Learn how tension, compression, and shear tests—combined with constitutive neural networks—can be used to identify the mechanical signature of plant-based meats.
Plant-Based
San Francisco Climate Week 2025
The future of food is a key part of the future of climate action. San Francisco Climate Week brings together innovators, policymakers, and business leaders to explore the latest solutions in sustainability. This weeklong series of events highlights breakthroughs in climate technology, policy, and corporate responsibility—including the role of food in reducing emissions.
Wild Hope: Mission Impossible – Screening & Panel Discussion
The future of food is in focus. Join us for a special screening of Wild Hope: Mission Impossible, an eye-opening film exploring plant-based solutions and the innovations shaping our food system. The event will feature a post-screening discussion with experts leading the charge in sustainable food, including GFI’s Pepin Andrew Tuma.
Sunflower byproducts for sustainable food
Years active: 2024This project uses sustainable processing to transform sunflower meal into a protein-rich, eco-friendly ingredient for human food.
MANRRS 39
Join us for an engaging session on alternative proteins and their potential to transform food systems. This session will explore the science, technology, and market opportunities behind plant-based, cultivated, and fermented proteins driving sustainability and innovation in the food industry.
A global perspective on alternative seafood
Explore a first-of-its-kind survey showing what would motivate consumers in Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea to leave fish in the sea and choose plant-based or cultivated seafood instead.
Food 4 Thought 2025
Don’t miss Bruce Friedrich, GFI’s founder and president, as he takes the stage on Saturday, April 12, at 9:15 AM to discuss how alternative proteins can help build a more sustainable, just, and secure food system.
Upcycling wheat bran for fermentation
Years active: 2024This project called Wheat-UP will upcycle wheat bran into new ingredients for hybrid foods using oils from yeast and mycelium protein biomass.
2025 AOCS Meeting (American Oil Chemists’ Society)
Join GFI experts at the AOCS Meeting to explore research on land use efficiency and the environmental impact of plant-based meats.
Upcycling of side streams
Years active: 2024Over 20% of plant protein is underutilized. This project addresses that challenge by developing more efficient protein recovery.
