Protein Diversification
We are developing and adopting diversified protein-based solutions, which are healthy, sustainable, safe and affordable.
Shaping the future of protein consumption
Protein is an important part of a healthy human diet, but the overproduction of animal-based protein is damaging to the environment. If we’re going to feed our fast-growing global population, then we need to find sustainable ways of producing new, high quality, safe and healthy proteins, such as plant-based proteins, cultivated meat and insect protein. At EIT Food, our contribution includes supporting high impact agrifood startups working to create viable sustainable and healthy protein sources.
open call
We are looking for candidates that have first-hand knowledge and experience (entrepreneurs, businessmen or consultants) in building a business, and can provide valuable advice and support, guiding the Seedbed startups.
