Programs
4 programs
Policy and government relations - gfi's policy and government relations department is focused on removing public policy hurdles and directing public investment to accelerate progress on the widespread adoption of alternative proteins. The policy and government relations team primarily educates public institutions, including elected officials and regulators, and uses impact litigation as a strategic tool where warranted.
Corporate engagement - gfi's corporate engagement department works to educate companies and investors to prioritize alternative proteins, accelerate alternative protein innovation, and scale the supply chain. The corporate engagement team's work helps enable food industry partners to develop and bring to market alternative protein products that are as accessible, affordable, and delicious as conventional meat, eggs, and dairy. The corporate engagement team educates and empowers entities in all stages of the supply chain, including entrepreneurs and startups, investors, food and meat manufacturers, ingredient companies, grocery retailers, foodservice companies, and equipment manufacturers.
Communications - gfi's communications department positions gfi as a global thought leader and trusted source of data and insights across the field of alternative proteins and throughout the adjacent fields of climate, biodiversity, global health, and sustainable, secure food systems. The communications team elevates the expertise of our staff and works across the organization and field to publish and disseminate original research and reports, secure meaningful media coverage, convene and promote community and capacity-building events, and thoughtfully engage decision-makers and other influencers across the private and public sectors and civil society to position alternative proteins as an essential solution for a better food future.
International - gfi's international program consists of technical and management support from its u.s. Team to its foreign affiliates, as well as additional international activities led directly by the u.s. Team such as management of international sub-grants and programmatic activities aimed to accelerate worldwide engagement of scientists in alternative protein research, drive global policy and regulatory advancements, foster successful generation of innovators, and amplify media coverage of alternative protein innovation.
