DESCRIPTION:What will replace turkey at the Christmas dinners of the futur
 e?\n\nThe UK’s population currently relies on animal products for protei
 n\, but meat alternatives could be more sustainable and less ecologically 
 damaging\, as a recent SMF report "https://www.smf.co.uk/publications/rais
 ing-the-steaks/":URL  highlights.\n\nBut what are they and do people like 
 them?\n\nThis webinar from the University of Cambridge will look at three 
 alternative proteins: algae\, sea-food and pulses\, and ask\,\n\n• How m
 uch more environmentally friendly are they than animal proteins?\n• Do p
 eople enjoy eating them?\n• Do they contain enough protein to meet our d
 aily requirement?\n• Are they cheaper than meat?\n• Will they be on th
 e menu for Christmas dinner 2050?\n\nSpeakers:\n\n*Nick Saltmarsh*\, Co-fo
