Global consumers are increasingly embracing alternative proteins. Market projections indicate that these alternatives could constitute 11 percent of total protein consumption by 2035 - potentially reaching 22 percent with support from technology, investors, and regulators.
This trend is a positive development for combatting climate change, as the food system currently contributes to 26 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, with animal agriculture accounting for 15 percent.Consumer preferences for healthier diets and improved taste drive the adoption of alternative proteins. However price-related challenges persist.
