We research gaps in the alternative protein industry that, if strategically filled, would both enable the collective industry and steer it towards better outcomes for humans, animals and climate.
We forecast industry, investor and entrepreneur trends to understand which gaps are unlikely to be filled without our support (in other words, we consider the counterfactual).
