Dubai Future Foundation Explores Alternative

Proteins For Enhanced Food Security

By OneArabia

The Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has unveiled a report underscoring the significance of
enhancing food security through scientific and research advancements in alternative protein.
The report, titled "Mission Possible Food Security – A Role for Alternative Proteins," is part of
DFF's ongoing efforts to prepare key sectors for future challenges and opportunities. This
initiative bolsters Dubai’s standing as a global leader in future preparedness.

The report's release was announced at an event hosted by the Dubai Future Academy, in
collaboration with Dubai Municipality and "Food Tech Valley." The event featured experts,
scientists, researchers, specialists, and startups engaged in future food production and
innovative technologies. Participants discussed technology-based solutions as sustainable
alternatives and sampled foods produced using advanced techniques.

The report highlights the critical role of stakeholders in the food value chain, including
government bodies, regulatory agencies, companies, and consumers. It stresses the need for
innovation in food production systems to ensure food security. With an estimated requirement of
374 million tonnes of meat by 2030 due to rising incomes and population growth, the production
of cultured meat is projected to reach 2.1 million metric tonnes by 2030, with a market value of
US$25 billion.
