Sanjay Joshi on charity evaluation and nonprofit entrepreneurship

Abstract

The industrial production of animal products has grown to be one of the major causes of environmental degradation worldwide. Other negative impacts include inefficient use of resources for food production, global health risks associated with antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases, and ethical concerns over animal welfare. Several initiatives are being undertaken to develop new protein sources, such as plant-based and cell-based meats. The proponents of these initiatives believe that once the price of these alternative sources becomes competitive enough, consumers will favor them regardless of ethical concerns over their meat consumption – AI-generated abstract.
