THE GOOD FOOD INSTITUTE, INC.
ARLINGTON, VA

The Good Food Institute, Inc. (GFI) is a nonprofit organization established on March 14, 2018, in Florida, with its mailing address at PO BOX 12129, Denver, CO. The company's mission is to support the transition toward a food system where affordable and delicious products align with health and planetary well-being. GFI actively collaborates with start-up and established companies to promote marketplace success for innovative plant-based and clean meat products that aim to disrupt traditional food industries. It also educates grant-makers, corporations, and governmental bodies on the sustainability, climate impact, and global health benefits of these emerging sectors. Key insights shared by GFI's experts suggest focusing on omnivores' increased adoption of plant-based options as a growth driver for these products, rather than relying solely on niche vegan markets. Strategically, they advise looking beyond U.S. borders to markets in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia. The company emphasizes that plant-based foods can lead to better health outcomes, reduced environmental impact, and improved animal welfare, underscoring a long-term shift in dietary habits rather than capturing fleeting market trends. With a vision of remaking meat into an innovative and growth-oriented sector of the food industry, GFI's leadership includes President Ilya Sheyman, alongside board members Vandhana Balasubramanian and Kathleen Freston. The organization maintains active communication with its stakeholders through its website at thegoodfoodinstitute.com and can be contacted at (866) 849-4457. As of their last annual report on January 18, 2024, GFI continues to play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable food technologies.
