Description: Industrial animal agriculture sits at the intersection of many of the most pressing challenges facing human and non-human animal kind. To alleviate these pressures in the wake of rising global meat demand, we must accelerate the development of alternative proteins that compete with their conventional animal counterparts on the basis of taste, price, and convenience. Join the Good Food Institute’s Amy Huang to learn more about alternative proteins and the role students play in driving forward this food system transformation.

Bio: Amy Huang is the Associate Director of Scientific Ecosystems at the Good Food Institute. In this role, Amy oversees GFI’s efforts to transform universities into engines for alternative protein research and education. Amy has a background in global health, education, effective altruism, and design thinking. She holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University and is thrilled to be devoting her career to accelerating alternative proteins in the service of human, animal, and planetary health.
