Upcoming Webinar:
Surveying the Environmental Impact of Alternative Proteins via LCA

DATE: December 7, 2023
TIME: 1:00PM - 2:00PM EST
PRESENTER: Nikhita Mansukhani Kogar, Senior Lead Scientist for the plant-based pillar at The Good Food Institute
DESCRIPTION:
Alternative proteins are a powerful tool to mitigate the environmental impact of our food system, decrease the risk of zoonotic disease, and ultimately feed more people with fewer resources. However, a clear understanding of the environmental impacts of alternative proteins is essential to inform the suite of strategies available to make the transition to alternative proteins economically and environmentally sound. In this session with The Good Food Institute, Dr. Nikhita Kogar will provide an overview of modern plant-based meat production and review the highest environmental impact factors based on life cycle assessments conducted to date. An examination of these factors across the production process will follow, along with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities that the sector faces as a result.
PRESENTER BIO:
Nikhita Mansukhani Kogar is a Senior Lead Scientist for the plant-based pillar at The Good Food Institute. Prior to joining GFI, she worked in food and biotechnology product development, most recently as an Innovation Scientist at Beyond Meat. She holds a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Northwestern University.
