GFI Israel - Who We Are
The Good Food Institute (GFI) is an international, science-based non-profit organization, focused on building a sustainable, healthy, and just food system.
GFI Israel partners with scientific institutions, governmental organizations, and businesses to promote groundbreaking alternative protein research and innovation.
The Food Industry's Challenge
Current meat production is unsustainable and inefficient. It is a key driver of climate change, environmental degradation, and antibiotic resistance. Yet these facts have not sparked significant behavioral change – global meat consumption continues to rise.
GFI’s Solution
Instead of asking consumers to give up the foods they love, GFI is working with researchers, entrepreneurs and food companies to accelerate the global food system’s transition to alternative proteins that are delicious, affordable and accessible.
