Alternative proteins are not a single destination — they’re a journey of incremental, compounding breakthroughs. This conference is designed to map that journey.
GFI APAC Scientist Hailed Among World’s “Top Agri-Food Pioneers”
To foster a climate that could drive future food-system revolutions, Dr. Norman Borlaug established the World Food Prize in 1986. Today, it is managed by a namesake foundation that honours scientists for advancing his legacy of abundance through innovation. Among this year’s esteemed awardees: GFI APAC Head of Science and Technology Wasamon Nutakul, PhD!
JUST IN: Major report unveils China’s protein playbook—a roadmap for other nations
Moments ago, Systemiq, the systems change company, published an important new report modelling exactly how China’s innovation-to-mass-adoption playbook could fundamentally reimagine global meat production over the coming decades.
Explore the 2026 State of the Industry reports
The State of the Industry report series is GFI’s annual deep dive into the rapidly evolving alternative protein landscape, across the cultivated, plant-based, and fermentation sectors. The latest edition of this flagship series provides a global overview of industry progress, synthesising company landscapes and product trends, sales data, scientific advancements, and public investment and regulatory updates that are helping shape a more secure, sustainable, and just food system.
Korea overtakes Singapore as APAC’s cultivated meat startup epicentre + four other takeaways from GFI’s new reports
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived: the latest editions of GFI’s annual reports on the State of the Industry and Global Policy were just published!
Companies: share cultivated meat breakthroughs publicly—here is how
Cultivated meat could satisfy soaring global protein demand while dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the spread of zoonotic diseases such as avian flu. One challenge is that, instead of sharing relevant scientific discoveries, too many companies keep them under lock and key, which imperils the entire sector.
China wants to dominate the future of food. And it might succeed.
In early February, I was invited to visit a discreet industrial building just outside Beijing’s historic city center. What I saw inside has the potential to radically restructure the global food system.
China’s big bet on ‘new proteins’ is a win for Singapore
Researchers in Singapore have warned that unless Asia diversifies its protein supply, the region cannot meet its carbon emissions goals. Recognising this, China has responded by investing hundreds of millions of dollars in “biomanufacturing” through its State Development & Investment Corp to become a sustainable protein supplier to the world.
An Exclusive Look Inside China’s “New Proteins” Sector
A team of GFI APAC staffers recently travelled across China to see with our own eyes what the country’s major biomanufacturing push means for Singapore and the future of Asia’s protein supply. What we saw only further solidified our confidence that China will play a decisive role in the long-term success of the future-food sector.
