About GFI Israel
The Good Food Institute Israel is a nonprofit think tank working to harness the power of local alternative protein research and innovation to target the world’s climate, global health, food security, and biodiversity goals.
As a catalyst for the entire sector, GFI Israel leverages the Israeli entrepreneurial mentality and partners with forward-thinking scientists, businesses, and policymakers to advance research and industry breakthroughs and promote governmental support for alternative proteins.
Our areas of focus
Science
We work with scientists to develop, fund, and promote open-access research on plant-based, cultivated, and fermented proteins.
Policy
We partner with governments to invest in alternative protein research, infrastructure, workforce, and supporting regulations.
Business & Innovation
We support the food industry to make delicious and affordable alternative proteins available everywhere.
How we’re funded
The Good Food Institute is powered by philanthropy. Our progress is only possible thanks to gifts and grants from our global family of donors.
The vast majority of our funding comes from individual donors, from more than 65 countries, with additional support from philanthropic foundations, including the Open Philanthropy Project and ClimateWorks Foundation.
We don’t accept donations from companies engaging in the conventional animal or alternative protein industries, but these companies can sponsor GFI’s public events or fund our open-access scientific research programs.
People around the world support our work because, together, we can transform our food system to mitigate climate change and environmental degradation, feed our planet’s growing population, and secure a food supply that decreases the risk of zoonotic diseases and antibiotic resistance.
Our donors are making a world where the sustainable choice becomes the default option.
Six organizations in one:
Our global network
We envision a food system that feeds 10 billion people while meeting global climate goals, protecting biodiversity, and maximizing public health. We operate in regions of the world with the greatest potential to advance the alternative protein ecosystem.
