Cultivating alternative proteins from commodity crop sidestreams

Webinar description Join GFI for a webinar unveiling a groundbreaking report that identifies high-value agricultural sidestreams with tremendous potential for maximizing food production via alternative proteins while cutting the costs and environmental impacts of agricultural wastes. This analysis identifies the optimal sidestreams candidates from North America’s top crops that could be valorized for protein concentrates for plant-based food ingredients, protein hydrolysates for fermentation or cultivated meat media, and lignocellulosic sugars for fermentation media. The webinar will address challenges, including the need for research and development to optimize sidestream functionality, alongside the establishment of robust supply chains and infrastructure. This analysis also outlines strategic geographic opportunity areas and the need for public-private partnerships to take full advantage of the economic and environmental potential sidestreams offer. Key recommendations will be discussed for the following stakeholders intent on capitalizing on the potential of sidestreams: Ingredient manufacturers and agricultural players Researchers and alternative protein manufacturers Policymakers Join us to learn about the full potential of sidestream valorization, paving the way for sustainable and efficient alternative protein production.
