GFI's State of the Science snapshots
5 videos • 248 views • by The Good Food Institute State of the Science Snapshots, which will GFI's State of the Science snapshots are released three times per year. While we include broad coverage of technical developments in our flagship annual publications such as the State of the Industry reports, one thing has become clear over the last few years: things are moving fast in the R&D space, and progress will only get faster as more resources pour into this space. While it takes time for these technological advances to translate into commercial impact, our intent is to use these snapshots to convey the frontier of knowledge in the alternative protein field. These snapshots are just that—a snapshot in time, not intended to be comprehensive but rather to provide curated highlights of things we’re most excited about. In some cases, we don’t yet have specific publications or announcements to point to, but our subject matter experts are simply picking up on signals from conversations we’re having or glimpses at pre-published work that we can aggregate into larger trends we’re seeing. We cover not just the technology itself but also developments in the broader scientific ecosystem, including noteworthy funding announcements and updates regarding the growth of the talent streams leading into this field, since funding and talent constraints pose two of the biggest bottlenecks at the top of the funnel for scientific innovation. As more talent and research funding flow into the alternative protein sector, all of these advances will pick up steam. Visit https://gfi.org/science/ for access to in-depth information and resources.
