ADM Identifies Four Factors Driving the Expansion of the Alternative Protein Ecosystem

As macro trends of food security, health and well-being and sustainability continue to shape the food landscape, it will take an expanded protein ecosystem to meet the needs of people and the planet. However, consumer acceptance and adoption of emerging and novel protein sources, as well as calls for better nutrition, taste, texture and more, are presenting key need states that must be addressed to advance the alternative protein arena.

As a global leader in nutrition, ADM has identified four factors that will help drive a sustainable and secure food system, while meeting consumer demands in alternative proteins:

Anticipating the Next Wave of Advancements: Accelerating consumer acceptance of future-state technologies that can deliver a diverse array of protein sources.

Championing Consumer Adoption: Solving the consumer experience and addressing taste, texture and nutrition by merging what consumers want, and communicating that effectively to encourage adoption of protein alternatives or hybrids.

Bridging the Gap to Better Nutrition: Innovating to support dietary diversity and improvements to nutrition, as well as increasing demands for specific wellness support.

Solving Accessibility with a Tailored Approach: Putting more emphasis on regional nuances and sustainable solutions to solve current global food system challenges.
