A new study by ENVS PhD candidate Waverly Eichhorst and ENVS Associate Professor Peter Newton, published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, explores Thailand’s potential as a leader in cultured protein (CP) production. As the global food system undergoes transformation, alternative proteins—including plant-based, insect-based, and lab-grown options—are gaining prominence due to concerns over environmental sustainability, food security, and ethical food production. The study examines how Thailand, with its strong agricultural sector and emerging food technology landscape, could play a key role in shaping the future of protein production.
