VN Webinar: Alternative Proteins

Tuesday, June 25 at 1 pm EST

Webinar Description

The global population is expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050 and current livestock production methods are unsustainable. This growing crisis has fostered new ways of producing protein that do not come from the slaughtering of animals. These proteins are called “Alternative Proteins”, or “Alt Proteins” and they encompass many innovative and novel technologies. This presentation will discuss the environmental benefit of Alt Proteins, the different categories, and products available now – and those we’ll see in the future.  You’ll leave with a solid foundation of the emerging Alt Protein movement.
