Alternative proteins: progress, pitfalls and possibilities
In this talk, Oxford Martin School Visiting Fellow Cleo Verkuijl will present key insights from a 2023 UNEP assessment on the environmental, health, social, and animal welfare implications of alternative proteins, which she co-led alongside former IPCC and IPBES Chair, Bob Watson. The talk will also examine the technical, social, and political hurdles facing the alternative protein transition – including questions of equity and justice – and consider the opportunities for scaling alternative proteins in ways that support sustainable, healthy, and inclusive food systems.
