Join Dr. Tyler Barzee, Assistant Professor at University of Kentucky, as he explores recent advances in cultivation and processing technologies for fungi-based foods and probes the next frontiers in this promising field.
Defining alternative protein
Alternative proteins are produced from plants or animal cells, or by way of fermentation. They are designed to taste the same as or better than conventional animal products while costing the same or less. Alternative proteins require fewer inputs, use less land, and generate fewer negative externalities than conventional proteins.
