SUMMARY:Fermentation - Industry Outlook on Trends & Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Fermentation – Industry Outlook on Trends & OpportunitiesPast\n\n\n\n\nGain insight from industry experts on fermentation technologies and meet the partners who are leading the way to advance fermentation processing in Western Canada. \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\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nAs one of the oldest known sciences\, fermentation technologies have played a large part in feeding the global population for thousands of years. More recently\, fermentation has gained renewed interest from industry and consumers alike as one of the world’s leading technologies to address issues regarding food sustainability and security. The link between fermented foods and gut/overall health and wellness\, and the potential to improve the quantity and quality of plant based proteins and starches through fermentation\, are two of the major factors driving this renewed focus. \n\n\n\nWestern Canada\, in general\, is lagging behind in its capabilities to address the growing demand in both technology and capacity in fermentation even though the region is positioned as a global ingredient supplier of plant based proteins with a strong focus on ingredient purification/fractionation. This is why in Saskatchewan we are investing in building a fermentation ecosystem through research\, ecosystem mapping\, increased capabilities and technologies. Join the Fermentation Trends & Opportunities —Current & Future Industry Outlook webinar to gain insight from industry experts on fermentation technologies and to meet the partners who are leading the way to advancing fermentation processing in Western Canada. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGFI speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Specht\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\n\n\nVICE PRESIDENT\, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY \n\n\n\nLiz Specht oversees GFI’s Science and Technology department to build a roadmap for accelerating alternative protein research while empowering scientists to execute on this vision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about Liz\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?

SUMMARY:Driving Innovation by synthetic biology and fermentation can solve challenges in food production and demand
DESCRIPTION:Driving Innovation by synthetic biology and fermentation can solve challenges in food production and demandPast\n\n\n\n\nGain a better understanding of the growing interest in synthetic biology for the food market in the Asia-Pacific region and learn about the importance of nitrogen sources in the fermentation process. You will hear from industry leaders from GFIC\, Allozymes\, and Procelys by Lesaffre. \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\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nGlobal protein consumption has risen over 45% since 2000. As much as 63% of this increase has been driven by the Asia-Pacific market. This is partly due to the rapid growth in synthetic biology\, which allows for the design of recombinant proteins that can be used for example in the production of alternative food products such as vegetarian and vegan meat replacements. \n\n\n\nTo keep up with the expanding market\, food producers will need to stay up to date on the latest advances in industrial fermentation for food applications. By connecting with fermentation and yeast-based nutrients experts\, food producers can optimize the production of recombinant proteins in industrial fermentation\, for example through the selection of a suitable nitrogen source for the fermentation process. \n\n\n\nAttend this event to hear from three industry experts about the use of synthetic biology to optimize recombinant protein expression for the food market. The program includes: \n\n\n\nAn introduction to the use of fermentation in the alternative protein marketA presentation on Allozymes’ technology for the development of custom enzymesA demonstration of how Procelys’ NuCel® products can address nutritional requirements and challenges in recombinant protein production\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?
