As concerns over environmental sustainability, food security, and ethical food production grow, many countries are exploring their role in shaping the future of protein production. A new study by <strong>ENVS PhD candidate Waverly Eichhorst</strong> and <strong>ENVS Associate Professor Peter Newton</strong>, published in <em>Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems</em>, examines Thailand’s potential as a leader in producing cultured protein (CP).</p><h3><strong>Why Thailand?</strong></h3><p>Thailand has a rapidly industrializing economy, a strong presence in global food production, and an interest in sustainability. However, the development of cultured protein technologies in middle- and low-income countries remains largely unexplored. This research seeks to understand how Thailand can foster an innovation system that supports cultured protein production.</p><h3><strong>Key Findings from the Study</strong></h3><p>Eichhorst and Newton used a <strong>technological innovation systems framework</strong> to assess Thailand’s current landscape for CP development. Their mixed-methods approach included a <strong>qualitative document review</strong> and <strong>semi-structured interviews with 17 industry experts</strong>. Their findings highlight both <strong>opportunities</strong> and <strong>challenges</strong> in the country’s path to becoming a leader in alternative proteins.</p><h4><strong>Opportunities for Growth</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>Initial Industry Engagement:</strong> Various actors, including government agencies, private companies, and research institutions, are beginning to explore CP technologies.</li><li><strong>Sustainability &amp; Food Security Benefits:</strong> Cultured protein could reduce environmental pressures from traditional agriculture while improving food security.</li><li><strong>Transnational Collaboration Potential:</strong> Leveraging global expertise could help Thailand build its CP sector.</li></ul><h4><strong>Challenges to Overcome</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>Regulatory Approval:</strong> Thailand lacks clear regulations for CP products, which could slow innovation.</li><li><strong>Manufacturing &amp; Technical Expertise:</strong> The country needs more specialized knowledge and infrastructure to scale CP production.</li><li><strong>Consumer Acceptance:</strong> Widespread adoption of CP products will depend on cultural perceptions and market demand.</li></ul> <div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/envs/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/2025-02/E7FDD977-A7E3-4F81-863E-B18EF621DD4D_1_105_c.jpeg?itok=gRisIr-C" width="750" height="563" alt="Waverly Eichhorst presenting to a group at Conference."> </div> </div> <h3><strong>What’s Next?</strong></h3><p>A couple of years ago, and before the paper was published, Waverly travelled <span>to the Netherlands&nbsp;to share the team's preliminary findings with a diverse audience at the International Scientific Conference on Cultured Meat in Maastricht, the Netherlands. They received some great feedback on their work during the conference, and Waverly was also able connect with other researchers conducting research on cultured proteins from diverse disciplinary backgrounds.</span></p><p>For Thailand to establish itself as a leader in cultured protein, <strong>stronger stakeholder engagement</strong> is needed. The study suggests that <strong>transnational partnerships</strong> could help bridge gaps in expertise and resources, while further research into consumer attitudes and market potential will be essential.</p><p>As global food systems evolve, Thailand has the opportunity to position itself at the cutting edge of sustainable protein production. With strategic investment and collaboration, the country could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of food.</p><p>🔗 <strong>Read the full paper here:</strong> <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sustainable-food-systems/articles/10.3389/fsufs.2025.1497792/full" rel="nofollow">Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>A new study by ENVS PhD candidate Waverly Eichhorst and ENVS Associate Professor Peter Newton, published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, explores Thailand’s potential as a leader in cultured protein (CP) production.
