Resumo(s)
With our modern society facing continuous population growth while going through substantial
behavioral changes, ensuring food safety and catering to the novel dietary demands has become
one of the most pressing challenges of our generation. Therefore, alternative protein sources to
animal-based products have been increasingly researched and introduced to consumersthat feed
a growing population and minimize negative externalities from livestock farming. Hence, this
research investigates this potential by analyzing the current developments in the alternative
protein industry. Specifically, comparing the different protein sources is at its essence,
evaluating their current and future potential while considering consumer awareness and
perception towards them. Thus, interviews and survey findings show the increasing importance
of plant-based protein product variety, with promising future prospects for single-cell and
cultivated products. Algal protein appears of lesser priority, while insects depict the least
attractive alternative protein sources for current and future Western consumers.
