Christmas Dinner Event 2050. Will we be eating alternative turkey?

What will replace turkey at the Christmas dinners of the future?

The UK’s population currently relies on animal products for protein, but meat alternatives could be more sustainable and less ecologically damaging, as a recent SMF report highlights.

But what are they and do people like them?

This webinar from the University of Cambridge will look at three alternative proteins: algae, sea-food and pulses, and ask:

• How much more environmentally friendly are they than animal proteins?

• How much do people enjoy eating them?

• How much of our daily requirement of protein do they provide?

• How much do they cost, compared with meat?

• Will they be on the menu for Christmas dinner 2050?
