About – Cambridge University Alt. Protein Society

Welcome to Cambridge University Alt. Protein Society!

We are a society dedicated to the rapidly developing field of alternative proteins – Alt. Proteins for short. Our society aims to raise awareness of Alt. Proteins in the Cambridge community, and facilitate networking opportunities with global leaders in this field.

The society was founded in 2019 as Cellular Agriculture Cambridge University – and in 2021 we expanded to cover alternative protein solutions as a whole, encompassing topics such as Plant-based Meat, Fermentation technologies and of course, Cellular Agriculture. All of these technologies together will be needed to realise our goal of revolutionising the current food system.

Please see some links below for further information regarding our fields, and helpful external resources.
