SUMMARY:Anticipating 2030 production requirements for plant-based meat
DESCRIPTION:Anticipating 2030 production requirements for plant-based meatPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a review of key insights from GFI’s recent report estimating production targets the industry must meet to satisfy anticipated global market demand for plant-based meat by 2030. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, consumer demand for plant-based meat has often outpaced the industry’s supply chain capabilities. Failure to meet industry production targets may ultimately manifest as higher prices and limited availability to consumers. Given the forecasted increases in global demand for protein and shifting consumer preferences\, the industry must prepare to meet the growing demand for alternative protein sources. Join us for our next Science of Alt Protein webinar that will review the findings of a recent GFI report estimating production targets the industry must meet to satisfy anticipated global market demand for plant-based meat by 2030.  \n\n\n\nThe analysis examines current ingredient utilization across plant-based meat products and forecasts global production volume requirements to hit production targets. The seminar will address the potential for global supply squeezes of cornerstone ingredients like coconut oil and pea protein in the coming years. Early investment\, innovative partnerships\, and research for alternative ingredients or sourcing strategies that have the potential to mitigate future ingredient shortages will also be discussed. \n\n\n\n After the seminar\, we encourage you to join our optional networking event for alternative protein enthusiasts! You can talk about your research\, your company\, any challenges you’re facing in your work\, or your reflections on the webinar. The networking sessions start at 2:15pm EST and require a separate registration. We hope to see you there!  \n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the speakers\n\n\n\nZak WestonFOODSERVICE AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGERZak works with manufacturers\, suppliers\, and upstream companies to scale innovation and infrastructure investment throughout the alternative protein supply chain. An active member of the Effective Altruism community\, Zak holds a B.A. in Business Management and joined GFI after several years of experience in sales and working with startups.  More about Zak\n\n\n\nRyan Dowdy\, Ph.D.SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS MANAGERRyan spearheads technical analyses for GFI’s Science & Technology department and oversees the work of our Analysis Team. Ryan has a doctorate in food science from the University of California Davis with an emphasis in biotechnology. Prior to joining GFI\, Ryan managed the Food System for NASA’s International Space Station.  More about Ryan\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
