We are a student community at the University of Helsinki exploring alternative proteins including plant-based, fermentation and cultivated meat for a more sustainable, resilient and just food system. We are part of the Alt Protein Project powered by The Good Food Institute.
The Helsinki Alt Protein Project accelerates the protein transition by building an inclusive and interdisciplinary community that connects students, researchers, and industry professionals across the Helsinki region and beyond.
Through education, collaboration, and research engagement, we help students transform their values into meaningful action toward a more sustainable food system, empowering the next generation of alternative protein leaders and strengthening Finland’s position at the forefront of sustainable food innovation.
