Where We Stand
Bryant Research uses social science research to help accelerate the protein transition from conventional meat to alternative proteins.Â
Protein transition sits at the intersection of many of the world’s most pressing problems. Solving rapid climate change, reversing environmental devastation, preventing future pandemics, and improving animal welfare all rely on a more efficient and diversified protein supply.
From change at the individual to the institutional level, our research illuminates the most effective ways to realise more sustainable food systems.
