FUTURE-PROOFING PROTEIN TO SUSTAINABLY FEED 10 BILLION

Welcome to the Food Protein Summit 2026, where experts in nutrition, science, and technology come together to advance food protein production and support a more accessible, sustainable food system.

The food industry faces challenges including high GHG emissions, intensive land and water use, and concerns about the nutritional quality, safety, and acceptance of alternative proteins. The summit will spotlight innovations in plant-based, microorganism-based, and cell-cultured proteins, as well as scalable fermentation technologies and low-carbon regenerative agriculture practices.

Join us to gain practical insights, connect with industry experts, and help shape the future of the global food protein sector.
