520 |a In the face of mounting global challenges—climate change, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, and the burden of non-communicable diseases the book offers a timely and authoritative exploration of one of the most transformative movements in contemporary food systems. This comprehensive volume brings together cutting-edge scientific research, technological innovations, and socio-cultural perspectives to examine the rise of plant-based, cultured, and novel protein alternatives to conventional meat. From cellular agriculture and precision fermentation to the sensory science of meat mimicry and consumer psychology, the book unpacks the multifaceted dimensions of meat substitutes with scholarly rigor and clarity. It also addresses policy frameworks, market dynamics, and the cultural narratives shaping the global discourse on alternative proteins. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, entrepreneur, student, or conscious consumer, this volume is an essential resource for understanding how meat substitutes are not merely alternatives—but vital catalysts in reimagining a resilient, equitable, and climate-smart food future. Explore the science. Challenge the status quo. Embrace the future of food.
