As climate change continues to grip the whole world, Southeast Asia is turning to alternative meats as a way to combat climate change. The region's livestock sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and alternative proteins could help to reduce these emissions.
A study by Asia Research Engagement found that alternative proteins will need to account for more than half of protein production in Southeast Asia by 2060 if the region is to meet its climate targets. The study also found that the demand for alternative proteins is growing rapidly in the region, with investment in the sector increasing by 150% in 2022.
The study highlights several of the challenges that Southeast Asia faces in its transition to alternative proteins. These challenges include improving the taste and texture of alternative proteins, reducing their cost, and building consumer awareness of these products.
Despite these challenges, Southeast Asia is well-positioned to lead the global transition to alternative proteins. The region has a young and growing population that is increasingly concerned about climate change, and it has a strong track record of innovation in the food sector.
