The alternative protein movement continues to grow, leading to positive impacts on the economy and climate. Euromonitor data indicate that the plant-based meat market exceeded R$ 1.1 billion in retail sales, while the plant-based milk market reached R$ 700 million.
The World Bank highlights these foods as the second most promising strategy to mitigate climate change, outranked only by reforestation. According to the Recipe for a Livable Planet report, alternative proteins can provide a reduction of up to 6.1 billion tons of CO₂ annually.
To turn these technologies into viable climate solutions, it is essential to secure the necessary investments. With Brazil hosting the COP for the first time, the challenge will be to convert the US$ 300 billion annually pledged at the Azerbaijan COP into US$ 1.3 trillion. This scaling depends on the diversification of financing sources, involving public resources, private investments, and international partnerships.
Throughout 2024, GFI Brazil surveyed the main gaps that hinder the growth of the alternative protein sector. In this report, we are excited to share initiatives that seek to unlock investments, support innovation ecosystems, foster research, influence public policies, inform the media, and create an environment conducive to the advancement of the sector.

The plant-based market achieves its first billion: what’s next?
The plant-based meat and seafood market reached R$ 1.1 billion in sales, and the plant-based milk market exceeded R$ 700 million. This is a historic milestone for the national alternative protein industry that should be celebrated, but it poses new challenges. We know there are still obstacles, especially related to price and sensory experience.
But what causes these challenges, and how can we solve them? The LAMPADA project (Survey and Analysis of Improvements in Alternative Proteins and Development of Actions) sought to answer these and other questions. After interviewing 40 experts from 37 public and private institutions in the sector, GFI traced bottlenecks at different points in the value chain—including production, distribution, regulation, price, and sensory similarity—that hinder sustainable market growth.
GFI’s work to solve these challenges will continue into the coming years. Here are some examples of this work:

100% national plant-based
GFI Brazil carried out a study in partnership with Unicamp to reduce the dependence on imported raw material that makes products more expensive. We conducted a survey of 18 plant-based sources cultivated in Brazil with promising technological and economic performance—among them, cassava, rice, corn, and potatoes.
The potential of algae
Simultaneously, we conducted research that highlights the value of algae in the plant-based meat industry. The study showed that algae have protein levels that are comparable to those of traditional sources, such as milk, eggs, and soy, in addition to providing higher productivity, higher nutritional value, and the advantage of not competing for arable land.
Beans: Brazil’s favorite
Recognizing Brazil as one of the largest producers and consumers of beans—with more than 40 varieties, and carioca beans accounting for 50% of the planted area—GFI Brazil has committed to proving the viability of this legume as a protein source. Research funded by GFI and carried out by EMBRAPA noted the technological and nutritional potential of carioca beans for the plant-based market.
Support for farmers
In 2024, GFI Brazil launched a pilot project to support farmers in implementing agro-industrial processes. The goal is to produce protein flour—a higher value-added product compared to the commodity. In partnership with UFSC, we conducted a Technical-Functional Quality Assessment of Bean Proteins obtained by Dry Fractionation, whose results will be released in 2025.
Technological routes
Another initiative, also in partnership with UFSC, aims to determine technological routes to improve the sensory and nutritional components of bean-based proteins. By investing in improving the taste and nutritional features of bean -based products, the project is designed to make foods more attractive to consumers and competitive in the market.

Brazilian plant-based consumers
Understanding consumer perception is essential to advancing the production and marketing of plant-based foods. Our study showed that 52% of Brazilians have a positive view of plant-based alternative proteins, and 26% to 48% consume plant-based meats and milks products at least once a month. However, 41% indicated price as a barrier, while 35% noted that taste and health-promoting characteristics can be improved to increase consumption.
Nutritional characteristics
To enrich the discussion on the health-promoting features of plant-based meat, we funded research at Unifesp, which resulted in an article published in Current Research in Food Science and two technical summaries:

Safety and quality
In partnership with the Food Technology Institute (ITAL) and Liner Consultoria, GFI Brazil led the first systematic study that applied Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) to plant-based meat. This innovative technical report provides strategies to optimize processes and ensure high safety standards.
GFI Brazil’s Science and Technology team discussed plant-based food safety at Latin American Symposium on Food Safety (IAFP Latino). FAO’s Food Safety Foresight Technical Meeting also addressed this topic, with global experts examining challenges and opportunities in plant-based food safety and new technologies.

Rational optimism continues to guide decision-making in the cultivated meat market.
Cultured/cultivated meat has advanced at an expected pace for such a complex field. Beyond improving production methods and piloting scale-up projects, we must ensure that science and the market continue to advance.
In March 2024, we celebrated a victory when RDC No. 839 came into force, which regulates the approval of innovative foods and ingredients, including those created through cell-culture and fermentation. This regulatory framework situates our country in a position of international prominence, providing opportunities to attract investments and launch new products.
Understanding the technology itself is also a challenge, which is why GFI Brazil produced an animation that facilitates a deeper understanding of cultured/cultivated meat. We also created an FAQ aimed at democratizing knowledge on the subject and explaining key safety and health concerns.
