ISPIC 2021 is here! 
“Smart protein” — meat, egg, and dairy alternatives produced without industrial animal agriculture but rather through food science and biotechnology — is a major piece of the global fight against climate change, food insecurity, and public health crises such as future pandemics.

With a Smart Protein Digital Lab, and infrastructural support and mentorship from GFI India and experts across major academic institutes including Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), and government agencies including Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council), the challenge nurtures talent and supports participants to develop smart protein solutions for the future.
