We recently held the first virtual Symposium on Fermentation in #alternativeproteins with 1,500+ live attendees from around the world! Here are the top 3 themes that emerged 👇 1/5
Fermentation is more secure and sustainable than conventional animal ag:

♻️ the “waste” products of fermentation can be used for other applications
⚖️ inputs can be inexpensive, stable, predictable, and easy to obtain
🌏 can help deliver low-cost nutrition across the globe

2/5
Fermentation technology has many possible applications:

🥩 replicate the muscular texture of meat
👅 enhance the functionality & sensory qualities of #plantbased or #cultivated foods
🐮 replace animal-based flavors & emulsifiers

3/5
The industry is heating up, and shows no signs of slowing!

🆕 4 out of 5 alt-protein fermentation companies formed after 2015
📈 capital raised during the first half of 2020 exceeded all of 2019 fundraising
😷 companies were tested by the pandemic and continued to thrive
