ADM, a global leader in nutrition, announced that it will invest approximately $300 million to significantly expand its Decatur, Ill., alternative protein production, as the company continues to add capacity to meet strong demand growth. ADM will further enhance its alternative protein capabilities by opening a new, state-of-the-art Protein Innovation Center, also in Decatur. 

Investment in alternative proteins, and funding for general protein innovation strengthens in 2022.

As global efforts ramp up to mitigate the climate crisis, address land and water issues, and prevent the next pandemic, the sustained interest in alternative proteins signals a growing appetite for planet-friendly investments with returns beyond the bottom line.  

The alternative protein market is set to be worth $290 billion by 2035 and Kernel™ is turning that trend into product demand.

The EVERY Company, the leading precision fermentation platform accelerating a global transition to animal-free protein, announced it has closed $175 million in Series C financing.
