The Davis Alt Protein Project, an initiative supported by The Good Food Institute, provides members with an inclusive space in which to discover how their interests and skills intersect with the needs of the alternative protein food industry and to plan future careers that will allow them to transform the future of food. The Davis Alt Protein Project strives to support a healthy, sustainable, and just food system by creating a community for alternative protein research and innovation at UC Davis. The group organizes industry visits, seminars, product tastings, discussions, community outreach, and many other activities focused on promoting interest in alternative proteins.
We define "alternative protein" as three distinct categories of food technology:
Plant-based - recreating the component parts of meat using plants.
Fermentation - growing microorganisms to produce food ingredients and biomass.
