The Good Food Institute Europe is a non-profit organisation and think tank that contributes to building a more sustainable, safer and fairer food system through the diversification of protein production. We advocate for the science, policy and investment needed to make alternative proteins delicious, affordable and accessible across Europe. By promoting plant-based foods, cultivating meat from cells and producing ingredients through fermentation, we can increase food security, achieve our climate goals and support nature-friendly agriculture.

German Federation for Plant innovation (Gemeinschaft zur Förderung von Pflanzeninnovation e. V. - GFPi)

The GFPi cooperates closely with the scientific community in plant research and is the central communication platform for science and industry. The GFPi stimulates innovation in plant breeding by promoting pre-competitive research activities and supporting the implementation of research results in practice. To this end, the GFPi pools the interests of its more than 60 mostly small and medium-sized members. These come from the fields of plant breeding or from companies that deal with plants or plant products, as well as plant-related services along the entire agricultural and horticultural value chain. The GFPi utilises the earmarked public research funds and private funds for current topics in plant research.
