Alternative protein networks

The networks listed below focus on alternative proteins, some on a specific pillar and others with broader coverage across the alternative protein ecosystem.

The filter function allows you to further narrow the list by network type (e.g. trade association, professional network), region, pillar, and more. You can also download the database as a CSV file by clicking the three dots in the heading.

Are you part of a network that is not represented in this database? Please add it here. If you see a network with outdated or incorrect information, click the ‘update this network’ button on the far right of its record.

Add a network

Networks and communities of practice are increasingly being founded to support the growing alternative protein ecosystem, from trade associations that support industry growth and representation to associations that support the continuing education and career growth of individuals at all stages of their professional careers. In addition, networks from aligned disciplines and industries, from biochemistry to traditional agriculture to mechanical engineering, are empowering their members with tools to contribute to the alternative protein space.

While the alternative protein network database is intended to be as comprehensive as possible, it is not an exhaustive list. 

Do you know of a relevant network that’s not on our list? Request to add them using the form below and share as much information as you can.

Because we review each submission that comes through, it may take up to five working days for your network to appear in our database. We will contact you by email if we have any questions about the information you share. GFI respects your privacy.
