CRB’s team of experts surveyed 150 professionals in the alternative protein industry to understand the critical trends driving this market. Product rollout timing, contractor partnerships, facility scale-up, and sustainability decisions are currently affecting companies in this space. This CRB Horizons Podcast episode provides another perspective on the data; an industry leader gives her take on our findings.

Brittany Sambol, Vice President of Operations at Wildtype, Brittany Sambol is the Vice President of Operations at Wildtype, an organization that grows sushi-grade salmon from the cultivated cells of healthy fish. Based on her operations experience in the food and beverage industry, and now the alternative proteins space, Brittany is uniquely positioned to contextualize our report data with personal experience. She shares her views on four of the topics captured in the Horizons report:

1. When cultivated meat will be available to consumers
2. Why companies are seeking contract manufacturer support in the cultivated meat sector
3. Why the industry seems to be relying on lower-volume bioreactors
4. And how sustainability factors into companies’ decision-making

Brittany discusses this with Sebastian Bohn, Sub-Market Leader of Alternative Proteins, a main contributor to this Horizons report.
