Big news from London: Earlier this week, we unveiled the second Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein at Imperial College during London’s Climate Action Week!
This center will drive forward cutting-edge research in cultivated meat and fermentation technologies, pushing the boundaries of engineering biology to create sustainable, nutritious, and delicious proteins.
This $30M grant is part of a growing network of Bezos Centers for Sustainable Protein, and part of our $1B commitment to transform food systems. Together with partners, we’re pioneering the future of food!

Yesterday, we celebrated an exciting milestone with the launch of the Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein at @NCState University. This center will be at the cutting edge of innovation, dedicated to advancing research and development to improve the taste, nutrition, and affordability of alternative proteins.
Special thanks to our distinguished guests, including Dr. Randy Woodson, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (@repdeborahross ), Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young, Dr. Rohan Shirwaiker, Dr. William Aimutis, Dr. Robin Cummings, and Toni Bucci.
North Carolina’s Research Triangle is a vibrant biotech and biomanufacturing scene, perfectly positioned to lead the future of sustainable food. The potential for innovation and economic growth in North Carolina and beyond is immense.
We’re excited to see how NC State will help drive the food revolution. Learn more at the link in bio.

The magic of Casanare in the Colombian Eastern Savannah, in a private reserve where capybara, babillas, tortoises, cattle and incredible bird diversity all co-exist. Thanks and congrats to @elencantodeguanapalo for everything you have created, and to @tnc_colombia for the invitation and opportunity to learn so much.

Food is responsible for 1/3 of global greenhouse gas emissions. Fixing the food system helps solve the problem.
That’s why the Bezos Earth Fund has committed $1 billion to transform food systems. At COP28 we announced ambitious grants to address the future of food through game-changing technology that will:
➡️ Reduce livestock emissions
➡️ Enable cattle traceability
➡️ Protect tropical forests
“We don’t need to cut down forests to raise cattle,” says @earth_andy , Future of Food Director at the @BezosEarthFund . “We need leaders of countries committing to transform our food systems.”

The restoration economy builds benefits through the value chain by creating jobs, improving livelihoods while increasing biodiversity and carbon sequestration. An 8x investment!
Beans is How has announced its dream-team board, and I’m thrilled to co-chair the Beans is How Science and innovation Advisory Council. Quite the honour to be joined by such incredible people to support the campaign with doubling global #bean consumption by 2028.
Why is this so compelling? Beans is how. It's the answer to so many difficult questions about how a farmer, a retailer or you as a consumer can strive to be more sustainable. Doubling bean consumption by 2028 delivers a better planet and healthier people. It's that simple.
