The Future of Plant-Based Meat

Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat

Projected UN statistics suggest a surge in the global population from 7.6 billion in 2019 to an estimated 9.8 billion by 2050. This growth, paired with evolving dietary habits due to increased prosperity and a forecasted rise in meat consumption from 39.5kg per capita in 2010 to 49.5kg in 2050, necessitates not only a paradigm shift but also innovative strategies for protein supply. This calls for diversified protein solutions and novel approaches, spanning from cutting-edge technology to the introduction of unconventional protein sources.

A plethora of suppliers are poised to launch, crafting global solutions to curb meat reliance without compromising protein accessibility. The market is witnessing an influx of alternatives to meat, milk, eggs, and fish derived from plants or cellular cultures, challenging traditional product categorizations.

This panel aims to address:

• The current status of cell-based meat and fish culture development.
• The most pressing challenges facing this emergent sector.

Join us as we dissect the transformative landscape of alternative proteins and ingredients, delving deep into the questions shaping tomorrow's food industry.

The FAO's alarming forecast posits that by 2050, we'd require the resources of three Earths to sustain the global populace at current meat consumption rates. This underscores the paramount importance of extensively researching, developing, and mainstreaming alternative protein sources for our impending future.

In this panel, we seek to unravel

• The potential plant-based solutions on the horizon.
• The challenges encountered in introducing these innovations to the market.
• Notable shifts in consumer demand over the past two years.
• Our progress towards hitting the critical mass-market adoption tipping point.

Join our thought leaders as we delve into the transformative role of alternative proteins in crafting a more sustainable global food landscape.
