ALTERNATIVE PROTEINS COUNCIL

The Alternative Proteins Council (APC), founded in March 2021, is the peak representative body for Australia and New Zealand’s alternative proteins sector – spanning the manufacture of proteins using plants, precision fermentation and cell cultivating technologies.

The APC provides a collective voice for the sector, and a platform to discuss shared issues and opportunities. The Council works to ensure the voice of the sector remains unified and impactful on key issues.

The APC engages at a national level on policy issues, enabling the sector’s shared vision and to serve consumers who enjoy alternative protein products.

The APC operates as a Managed Forum under the auspices of the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group), a peak industry association which has been operating for 150 years.
