The Davis Alt Protein Project (Davis Alt Pro) is a multidisciplinary team of undergraduate & graduate students aiming to advance the field of alternative proteins: plant-based, fermentation-derived, and cell-cultured innovations.

As a leading research university in food & agricultural sciences, UC Davis offers a unique platform to propel student engagement in the field of alternative proteins. The Davis Alt Protein Project is situated between the booming ag-tech, biotech, and food-tech startups of the Bay Area and the bountiful growing region of the Central Valley allowing for interaction with all levels of this food system. Collectively our organization aspires to advance the field of alternative proteins, working towards a sustainable, equitable, and robust industry. 

Our team focuses on 3 main objectives:

1.  Create and support alternative protein courses, tracks, and programs to facilitate student engagement and build a passionate workforce for the booming industry.

2. Organize events on campus and in the surrounding region that generate awareness and drive innovation. Events include seminars, product tastings, facility tours, networking, and more! 

3.  Build a fun, fulfilling, and inclusive community for students and researchers.

We are eager to collaborate with innovative companies and organizations in the alt protein space to promote nutritious and sustainable advancements in the future of food.
