White House report calls for innovation and development of the alternative protein sector

Industry news

  • White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has set R&D goals to develop new food and feed sources, including alt-proteins (e.g. plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cell-cultured) in their new report on goals for US Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing.

  • Some of the goals it aims to achieve include expanding research into food components that make novel foods more palatable, affordable, and easier to prepare; research on the structural design and food architecture of alternative protein products, including how plant and microbial materials compare to animal-based products; and identifying and conducting feasibility studies for high-volume, low-cost protein and innovations on fat sources such as products resulting from precision fermentation.

  • Analyst QuickTake: The report follows President Biden’s Executive Order to support cultivated meat in September 2022 . The Order highlighted the need for advancing biotechnology and biomanufacturing innovation with a focus on innovations in the agriculture sector and the advancement of alternative proteins. Weeks later, the Biden administration announced a new proposal that pledged to increase the availability of plant-based and vegetarian options at federal facilities. Aside from recent initiatives, the government has financially assisted innovations in this arena as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) made a grant of USD 10 million to Tufts University to establish the National Institute for Cellular Agriculture.
