The Agricultural Importance of Alternative Protein Sources

Release Date: 2024-06-03

Alternative protein sources have emerged as a significant topic from an agricultural perspective. Alternative protein sources include alternative plants, algae, fungi, insects, microbial proteins, in vitro or artificial meat, dairy-free vegan cheese, and other products produced through technologies such as biofermentation. The integration of alternative protein sources into agricultural production systems is seen as an [...]

    Alternative protein sources have emerged as a significant topic from an agricultural perspective. Alternative protein sources include alternative plants, algae, fungi, insects, microbial proteins, in vitro or artificial meat, dairy-free vegan cheese, and other products produced through technologies such as biofermentation. The integration of alternative protein sources into agricultural production systems is seen as an important step towards a sustainable food system. This integration not only helps reduce environmental impacts but also plays a key role in meeting the protein needs of the growing global population in the future. This study was prepared to reveal the agricultural importance of alternative protein sources. In conclusion, considering global developments, it can be said that sooner or later insect-fortified foods, food ingredients, or cosmetic products will enter our lives. Therefore, urgent efforts are needed to start religious, scientific, and industrial studies to solve this current issue from an Islamic perspective.
