In this final video of a two-part series, Food & Beverage Insider Associate Editor Heather Carter and Lead Scientist of Fermentation at The Good Food Institute (GFI) Adam Leman discussed the costs and advantages associated with high-tech fermentation technologies—biomass and precision—which companies are using in various ways to create animal-free, alt-protein sources.

Leman said one of the things industry and GFI are doing is “building out the scale that’s required to drive cost down” so these technologies are easily accessible, and more importantly, affordable for F&B companies across the board.
