<p class="" data-pm-slice="0 0 []">The <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/21/eat-less-meat-vegetarianism-dangerous-global-warming" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>world</strong></a> agrees we need to eat less meat and eat more <a href= "https://eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commission/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>plants</strong></a> if we want to save the planet from disastrous climate crises. But that’s easier said than done. In fact, our meat consumption is only set to rise. It was the highest in the U.S. this past year at <a href= "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-02/have-a-meaty-new-year-americans-will-eat-record-amount-in-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>100 kilos per capita</strong></a> and by 2030, continents like Africa and Asia Pacific will see tremendous growth in the appetite for protein. But it doesn’t have to come from animal sources. Companies like <a href="https://www.beyondmeat.com/products/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Beyond Meat</strong></a> and <a href= "https://impossiblefoods.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>Impossible Foods</strong></a> as well as <a href="https://www.ju.st/en-us" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>JUST</strong></a> are paving the way for meat made from plants, that taste, smell and even bleed like meat. And in India, companies like <a href="https://gooddot.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Good Dot</strong></a> and <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/onlygreatfoods/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><strong>Only Great Foods </strong></a>/ Supplant are pioneering the plant-based protein space. In this episode of The Power of Plant Protein, we talk to Abhishek Sinha of Good Dot and Chirag Sabunani of Only Great Foods to find out how they are growing the plant-based foods eco-system in India and approaching it from the polar opposite perspectives of an animal lover and a meat eater!.</p> <p class="">ORGANIZATIONS, INSTITUTES AND CELL-BASED MEAT COMPANIES MENTIONED:</p> <ul
