The Need: In the Future, Feeding The World on Animal Protein-based Nutrition Only, Will Be Impossible

World population is continuously growing and is expected to reach ~10B by 2050(*)

The traditional livestock protein industry has a major negative effect on the environment, and is under global pressure to reduce activity and its related pollution

Therefore, animal-based food (meat, dairy, fish, eggs) wouldn't suffice to provide future demand for protein

Current market protein alternatives are plant-based proteins, which provide inferior nutritional value and "off flavor" compared to animal-derived proteins

The Business Opportunity

The alternative protein food market is estimated at around \$13B /year (*)

The alternative protein market is less than 1%

of animal-based products market

Alternative Protein Market Growth
