The Vermont Alt Protein Project

About

The Vermont Alt Protein Project is dedicated to pioneering research, education, and innovation in the field of alternative proteins. Our mission is to advance the development of nutritious, environmentally-friendly, and ethical protein sources through interdisciplinary collaboration, research, and community engagement. We aim to cultivate a new generation of leaders and innovators who will drive the transition to a more sustainable and resilient global food system.

The University of Vermont (UVM) is renowned for its strong commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. UVM’s dedication to sustainable practices aligns seamlessly with the goals of the Vermont Alt Protein Project, which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of food production.

UVM has a rich tradition of community engagement and outreach. The Vermont Alt Protein Project leverages this culture to engage with local farmers, businesses, and consumers, fostering a community-driven approach to developing and promoting alternative proteins.
