A NEW roadmap by CSIRO, Australia’s na- tional science agency, shows how Australia can serve up a wider range of high-quality protein products to feed the world’s growing popula- tion and help capture a $13 billion market op- portunity for all types of protein.
tastes and dietary prefer- ences, the world is going to need to produce more protein, more sustainably and from more sources.
sent a big opportunity for future growth.
growth centre Food In- novation Australia Lim- ited managing director Dr Mirjana Prica said the global demand for protein represents a significant export opportunity for all of Australia’s protein players.
Released recently, the re- port ‘Protein: A roadmap for unlocking technology- led growth opportuni- ties for Australia’ also outlines how Australia could create up to 10,000 jobs and become a global leader.
“This will help shift Australia’s reputation from being the world’s food bowl of commodities to becoming a global deli- catessen of unique higher value exports,” Dr Mar- shall said.
“Australia has a real opportunity to have a thriving local food manu- facturing sector, while be- coming a leading exporter in value-added traditional, plant and novel protein products.
With an expected two billion extra people on the planet to feed by 2050, coupled with changing
CSIRO chief executive Dr Larry Marshall said Australia’s strong history and global reputation in agriculture and food pre-
“CSIRO’s Future Pro- tein Mission recognises the scale of this challenge and brings together a wide network of partners with the latest innovative technology to seize this opportunity for a resil- ient and sustainable food system.
“Building domestic ca- pacity and infrastructure to not only tap but to build scale for the plethora of protein opportunities is critical if we are to switch from importing ingredi- ents to producing our own domestically.”
Growth opportuni- ties include new plant- based products, turning lesser cuts of red meat into value-added protein powders and nutraceuti- cals, developing higher- protein and better tasting legume crops, creating a new sustainable industry in Australian white-flesh fish, and exploring non- traditional forms of pro- tein such as cultivated meat and edible insects.
“As protein demand grows and new consumer trends emerge, solutions from science can help create new markets and complement our existing globally competitive tra- ditional markets.”
“Consumer demand is increasing for all protein sources,” Dr Prica said.

“We can supercharge growth in our traditional protein industries by har- nessing technologies such as digital traceability and integrity systems that en- hance the premium status of Australian red meat, and grow new comple- mentary protein mar- kets through techniques similar to precision fer- mentation to generate a suite of new Australian products.”
CSIRO developed the roadmap drawing on its deep and broad connec- tions in the sector to drive a conversation about how to grow this protein op- portunity for national benefit, underpinned by the right infrastructure and technology.
The roadmap highlights how protein demand can only be met by bringing together animal, plant and non-traditional protein production systems.
The roadmap was de- veloped in consultation with key stakeholders in government, industry and the research sector across Australia’s agricul- ture, food and innovation system.
