Alternative proteins are progressing toward large-scale production to meet rising global meat demand, but substantial modifications are still required for sustainable growth.
- Why it matters: Addressing the projected 50% increase in meat demand by 2050 is critical to ensure food security and sustainability, as traditional animal meat production cannot meet this challenge alone.
- What they did: The review covers the current status of the alternative protein industry, including production efficiency, health attributes, industry scenarios in China and globally, and industry hurdles, based on multidisciplinary approaches.
- The result: Understanding these factors enables targeted strategies for sustainable development of alternative proteins, supporting global food security and reducing reliance on traditional meat sources.
