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.

Alternative Protein Technologies

Plant-Based

Plant-based meat, eggs, and dairy are produced directly from plants. Like animal products, they are comprised of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Next-gen plant-based options look, taste, and cook like conventional choices.

Cultivated Meat

Meat produced directly from animal cells. Meat cultivation facilitates the same biological process that happens inside an animal by providing warmth and the basic elements needed to build muscle and fat.

Fermentation

Microorganisms are a promising source for alternative protein products. Fermentation can be used to produce edible biomass or to produce specific animal ingredients in an animal-free host system.
