The growing consumer preference for sustainable and environmentally friendly food options is propelling the alternative protein market growth. Traditional animal-based proteins are produced through livestock farming, which is a major contributor to deforestation, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions. This increase in greenhouse gas emissions is driving consumers to actively seek alternatives, such as plant-based and lab-grown proteins, that align with their values. Plant-based and lab-grown proteins offer a significantly lower carbon footprint, reduced land use, and minimized water consumption compared to conventional meat production.
