Data from the 2023 Horizons: Alternative Proteins report shows that alternative protein manufacturers see the benefits of sustainability but lack a plan.
Why sustainability? Traditional meat production has negative environmental impacts, and consumers are concerned. Alternative protein manufacturers recognize this opportunity and are motivated to produce a more humane and less resource-intensive product. Illustrating this is the fact that more than half of the companies we surveyed have sustainability budgets; what’s surprising, though, is that many companies don’t have goals or plans around sustainability.
In this episode, CRBers Sebastian Bohn, Sub-Market Leader of Alternative Proteins; Tony Moses, Ph.D., Director of Product Innovation and Fellow; Jason Robertson, Vice President of Food and Beverage; Aaron Kilstofte, Industrial Food and Beverage Team Mechanical Engineer; and Maya Dehart, Energy and Sustainability Specialist talk about additional challenges beyond goal setting and planning that keep companies from pursuing sustainability as well as their advice for getting started despite these challenges.
