Alternative Proteins Society: Director of Food

Food is at the core of what we do in this society. As many in the industry have pointed out, it's easy to forget that when we're learning or researching specific technologies.

All of us care in some way about what proteins we eat, and I want to arm us with the information to make well-informed choices. That starts by knowing what products are on the market, are healthy, and taste good. A shared recommendations list with this information could turn off-the-cuff recommendations into a resource those in the society and beyond could use.

I would also monitor research on consumer preferences and sentiments, which are continually evolving as concepts like 'ultra-processed food' enter the public imagination.

Finally, I would reach out to nutrition organisations about potential partnerships - especially important given the diverse range of nutritional properties in different alt-proteins.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
