24 Sep 2021 --- The Good Food Institute (GFI) is awarding US$5 million to boost research into alternative proteins – a “powerful and scalable climate solution” that lacks critical funding. New data from the non-profit reveals that public expenditures on alt protein R&D in 2020 totaled a meager US$55 million. By comparison, public expenditure on clean energy R&D was US$27 billion – 490 times the public investment awarded to alt-protein R&D. “Thanks to a small number of generous donors, we do this by funding open-access research that we see as urgent and essential to exist in the public domain,” shares the organization.
