The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (Napic) aims to explore alternative protein sources such as lab-grown meat, plant proteins, and insects for sustainability and health.
Professor Anwesha Sarkar mentioned a vision to create a massive innovation ecosystem of over 350 partners to propel the UK into becoming a global leader in alternative proteins.
Animal agriculture contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the need for sustainable protein sources that support net zero goals and enhance food security.
With over 90% of UK citizens reportedly lacking sufficient dietary fiber, the innovation centre will focus on producing safe, tasty, affordable, and healthy alternatives.
