A recent explosion of investments in plant-based meats has further piqued the interest and attention of researchers, businesses, and consumers alike. But is all this money being used to address the most pressing concerns of consumers?
In this episode, we discuss why consumers are buying plant-based meat in the first place, trends in this specific market, and related research and investment challenges. Finally, we explore how nutrition science and regulation can shape the future and help put healthier plant-based meats on store shelves and dinner tables.
