Plant based meat and seafood alternatives are a solution to reducing our dependence on livestock farming for protein intake. Livestock farming contributes to approximately 16% of GHG emissions and is a significant contributor towards water pollution. Modern plant based alternatives source their protein from soy, peas, chick peas and mung beans, which are common sources of protein in a vegetarian or vegan diet. Cellular meat and seafood is a fast growing technology that aims to address the negative impact of livestock farming by growing meat using animal cells. This is also known as cultivated meat or lab grown meat. Plant based and cellular alternatives are sold in popular protein forms such as burgers, sausages, steak and chicken nuggets.
