The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a nonprofit think tank based in Washington D. C. Collaborating with scientists, businesses, and policymakers, GFI focuses on developing delicious, affordable, and accessible plant-based and cultivated meat alternatives.

GFI operates as an international network of organizations, driven by philanthropy, to advance alternative proteins as essential solutions for addressing climate change, global health, food security, and biodiversity goals. The organization's mission is to develop a sustainable, secure, and just protein supply by identifying effective solutions, mobilizing resources and talent, and empowering partners across the food system. GFI envisions a world where alternative proteins are no longer considered an alternative, but rather the norm.

GFI's core values include believing that change is possible, doing the most good with available resources, freely sharing knowledge, acting on evidence-based strategies, and fostering inclusivity and collaboration among partners. The organization believes that alternative proteins, such as plant-based and cultivated meat, offer a viable solution to the unsustainable and inefficient practices of conventional meat production. By shifting towards these alternatives, GFI aims to mitigate the environmental impact of meat production and combat issues like climate change, environmental degradation, and antibiotic resistance
