      <title>Plant-based meat: What is the role of alternative proteins in LMIC?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Diverse plant-based protein consumption is a promising approach to a healthy and environmentally sustainable diet. Across the plant-based meat series of the BrainFood podcast, we have heard thought-provoking insights from our guest experts working in fields such as nutrition, academia, business, behavior change, food technology, and novel alternative protein biotechnology. The fourth episode of this series focuses on the critical considerations for developing plant-based and other diverse alternative protein solutions for low- and middle-income countries.

      <title>Plant-based meat: Unpacking Consumer Insights</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many consumers of plant-based meat products are already concerned about the impact our food has on the environment, our health, and animal welfare. A recent explosion of investments in plant-based meats has further piqued interest and attention from researchers, businesses and consumers alike.

In this Disruptive Science episode of our BrainFood podcast, we discuss why consumers are buying plant-based meat in the first place, trends in this specific market, and related research and investment challenges.
