🌊 Innovation anywhere can catalyze progress everywhere.

Last year, GFI Japan launched the nation's first academic society dedicated to cultivated meat—connecting researchers and fostering collaboration domestically and abroad to advance a more secure, sustainable, and resilient food global system.

This is a great reminder that many crop “leftovers” or sidestreams have the potential to maximize food production via alternative proteins while cutting the costs and environmental impacts of agricultural wastes. Learn more:
Cultivating alternative proteins from commodity crop sidestreams - The Good Food Institute
Our analysis identifies commodity crop sidestreams produced in North America that are well-positioned to upcycle into inputs for alternative protein production.

When the DoD launched a program to fund new biomanufacturing facilities, GFI’s Maille O’Donnell made sure alt protein innovators were ready to seize the opportunity. The result: $20 million in funding for fermentation innovation!

That's the ripple effect in motion 🌊

Meet Jorge Guadalupe, a PhD student at the Federal University of Minas Gerais & leader of his university's chapter of Alt Protein Project. His work with the APP inspired a new course in cellular agriculture, which will help train and inspire the next generation of alt protein innovators 💡

This is a timely example of how philanthropy allows GFI to move nimbly when an opportunity arises, and help propel the entire cultivated meat field.

GFI acquired these assets from former startup SciFi Foods and, with Tufts, is ensuring that hard-won progress continues to benefit the entire field.

As GFI’s Dr. Amanda Hildebrand says: “Researchers now have a new starting line—one that’s closer to the finish line.”

Why it matters 👇

Cultivated meat startups spend $2–10M & years developing cell lines.

This collaboration lets researchers skip major R&D barriers—saving time, money, and helping new companies get to market faster.
