About

The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit think tank working to make the global food system better for the planet, people, and animals. As an international network of organizations, we advance alternative proteins to help meet climate, global health, food security, and biodiversity goals.

We work around the world to make alternative proteins—plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cultivated from animal cells—as delicious and affordable as conventional meat. As an international network of organizations powered by philanthropy, we are uniquely positioned to accelerate alternative proteins by catalyzing and growing the field.

By reimagining how meat is made, we can produce food that people love and usher in a future that benefits our planet and its inhabitants. Together, we are creating a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternative.
