iCAMP (Integrative Center for Alternative Meat & Protein)

The Integrative Center for Alternative Meat and Protein (iCAMP) leads the way in creating transformative knowledge and innovation to accelerate the commercialization of alternative proteins and sustainably fulfill all global need predicted by 2050. The Center is a partnership between University of California Davis, University of California Los Angeles, US Department of Agriculture, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, The Culinary Institute of America, and Solano Community College. iCAMP is a comprehensive center of excellence accelerating key routes to the commercialization of alternative proteins (plant-based, fungal/fermentation-based, cell-based meat) to meet the growing global demand for delicious, nutritious, healthy, and affordable protein-rich foods. iCAMP will identify food properties driving consumer preference, hybrid products, and integrated processes to make commercialization faster and more sustainable.
