Replying to @ficci_india
@ficci_india's Symposium on Protein for India centred on diverse protein sources and their impact on health, affordability, and sustainability. 💡At the Making India Healthy Through Protein panel, there was broad recognition of smart protein’s promising role in public nutrition.

Participants discussed the need to move from protein adequacy towards quality and bioavailability. Progress across ingredients, infrastructure, regulation, and markets will be key to moving smart protein innovation towards products for Indian price points, tastes, and formats.

Asia Research & Engagement and @ficci_india have released a seminal report charting India’s protein future: asiareengage.com/charting-in… India’s annual per-capita protein consumption is set to more than triple by 2070. (2/2)

On a BAU pathway, annual protein-related emissions may reach 1.92 Gt CO₂eq by 2070, over 7x the climate-safe threshold of 0.25 Gt. If alternative proteins substitute 35% of animal protein by 2070, alongside production mitigation measures, emissions could fall to 0.3 Gt CO₂eq.

🧩Despite steady progress, policy support for India’s smart protein sector remains fragmented. August’s GFIdeas India newsletter unpacks how greater convergence in agriculture, biotech, food processing, and nutrition policy can create a thriving ecosystem: go.pardot.com/webmail/968373…

🤝 GFI India and @NIFTEM_Tnj signed an MoU to develop industry-aligned pathways for smart protein research, product development, scale-up, and workforce readiness: gfi-india.org/our-partners/
