Mission Statement: We are a coalition of engineers, scientists, policy makers, public health advocates, entrepreneurs, writers, and other young professionals who aim to develop technological frameworks by which to enable nutritious, sustainable, equitable and ethical food systems. Our diverse, interdisciplinary academic community strives to disrupt current food systems by advancing alternative protein technology through education, research, and entrepreneurship. Alternative proteins include meat, fish, dairy, and eggs made using plant-based, fermentation-derived, and/or lab-grown ingredients that obviate the need for traditional animal agriculture.
– Ability to collaborate and network with people from diverse backgrounds
– pro-bono consulting
– podcast opportunities
– publication opportunities
– presentation and public speaking opportunities
Our goals consist of inviting guest speakers to the university, developing an alternative protein curriculum, partnering with industries who aim to enter this space, discussing literature, supporting research or entrepreneurial projects in the space, and fostering a supportive environment where students can aid each other in their job quests or related projects.
