Governments and private investors around the world need to rapidly ramp up financing for alternative proteins to help the industry scale and maximise its climate-mitigation potential, GFI APAC's @MirteGosker tells @CNBC: cnbc.com/2025/02/26/alternat…

Singapore alternative meat startups target resurgence after sector setbacks

To Singapore shoppers, plant-protein patties probably only exist in recent memory – of seeing them on promotion in grocers and eateries in the early 2020s.

Ryan Huling is the author of 'The Hidden Nations of Animals.' In this essay, adapted from his book, he discusses how our understanding of civilizations applies to animals time.com/article/2026/05/07/…

Do Animals Have Civilizations?

Animals maintain complex cultures, communication systems, infrastructure, and intergenerational knowledge, writes Ryan Huling.

However, Singapore is taking tangible steps to de-risk the sector, as demonstrated by the recent launch of the Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein at @NUSingapore, which will conduct open-access scientific R&D aimed at resolving technical bottlenecks. 🔬

The gov has also been proactive about disseminating regulatory best practices with other countries, in an effort to develop a more standardised regional rulebook for novel foods like cultivated meat. ✅

As Ingredients Network notes, institutions like Singapore’s Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein are exploring breakthrough ‘hybrid’ formulations that blend nutrient-dense plant proteins with small amounts of cultivated meat or fat to develop scalable models for such foods.

Gosker says that, “This potent combination could deliver a flavour punch that closes the taste and price gap with conventional meat—with a tiny fraction of the carbon footprint—and provides a template that can be replicated around the world.”

Life-cycle assessments show that by harnessing protein directly from plants, microbes, and cultivated animal cells, rather than feeding massive amounts of crops to animals, alternative protein products can reduce meat’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 98 percent. ⬇️
