“Food is national security. Food is economy. It is employment, energy, history. Food is everything.” - Chef José Andrés ARTICLE SUMMARY Given the pervasive impact of the food system, governments’ active interest in the industry is understandable. Governments can marshal formidable resources alongside their unique ability to introduce rules, guidelines, and laws, which can be the difference between success and failure for a nascent industry. Governments wield this wand of support in areas such as financial assistance, regulatory oversight, and fiscal provisions as the industry develops the value chain from R&D to manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. The alternative protein industry has certainly come a long way on its own merit, but if it is to compete with the conventional meat and dairy sector, it must garner the support of governments across the globe.
