About the course

The Plant-Based Alternative Proteins E-Course is a comprehensive self-paced training programme developed in collaboration with Good Food Institute India, with Dr. Padma Ishwarya, Senior Scientist, as the Subject Matter Expert. The course is designed to provide learners with a strong understanding of the rapidly evolving plant-based protein sector.

Participants will gain insights into the nutritional, functional, technological, and commercial aspects of plant-based proteins, including alternatives to animal-based food products. The course also explores current market trends, sustainability considerations, novel processing technologies, and the role of artificial intelligence in product development.

With an industry-focused approach, the course equips learners with knowledge of the plant-based protein ecosystem, from sourcing to commercialization.
