Event description

Plant-based, fermentation, and cultivated proteins are essential for solving multiple challenges at once–from the global to the local. In this webinar, you’ll hear from our global policy experts on why countries around the world prioritized food system innovation.

You will learn:

  • The story behind regulatory and public investment developments, including:
    • Why Asia led the world in public investment for cultivated meat in 2024
    • How U.S. public investment in fermentation can help meet our national goals
    • Where regional innovation hubs formed, thanks to public investment
  • Ways policymakers can work with civil society, industry, and international organizations to support sustainable protein production
  • What challenges alternative proteins faced in 2024 and the risks of restricting alternative protein innovation, sales, and labeling

Stay until the end for a live audience Q&A session with policy experts from APAC, Brazil, India, Israel, South Korea, and the United States.
