The Davis Alt Protein Project strives to support a healthy, sustainable, and just food system by creating a community for alternative protein research and innovation at UC Davis. The group organizes industry visits, seminars, product tastings, discussions, community outreach, and many other activities focused on promoting interest in alternative proteins. We define "alternative protein" as three distinct categories of food technology: Plant-based - recreating the component parts of meat using plants. Fermentation - growing microorganisms to produce food ingredients and biomass. Cultivated meat - cultivating genuine animal meat directly from animal stem cells.
