Meat-free Proteins

Meat-free Proteins

Solution Pathway

A new sector of the food industry that seeks to replace red meat with plant-based protein from pulses (legume crops), seaweed, moringa, or other high-protein sources. Not all plant proteins are good—serious concerns have been raised about the use of pesticides and other chemicals, novel GMOs, and the clearing of forests to produce some of these novel alternative proteins.
