新聞
2026年4月，南京農業大學與Joes Future Food共同主辦全球培養肉論壇，匯聚了研究人員、產業領袖及政策制定者。討論重點聚焦於安全評估、標準制定及規模化路徑，顯示中國日益增強的意願，旨在塑造全球培養肉的治理框架。
• ProVeg中國與江南大學合作成立NeoProtein創新中心
2026年4月，ProVeg中國與全球食品科學排名第一的江南大學簽署諒解備忘錄，共同設立NeoProtein卓越中心。此合作將聚焦於次世代蛋白質、產學合作，以及加速植物性、發酵與培養蛋白質解決方案的商業化進程。
• 新報告：中國有望在 2040 年前成為替代蛋白質的淨出口國
Systemiq 與Gordon and Betty Moore 基金會於 2026 年發布的報告指出，中國正處於食品系統轉型過程的「第 0 年」。若對生物製造與替代蛋白質進行戰略性投資，到 2030 年大豆進口量有望減少 25%，並使中國在二十年內躋身替代蛋白質產品的主要出口國之列。
2026年發表的多份分析報告均凸顯中國在植物性、發酵衍生及培養蛋白質領域的快速進展。在國家糧食安全目標及生物製造政策訊號的支持下，中國在該領域的發展，正日益被拿來與其早先在太陽能及電動車產業的規模化發展相提並論。

China strengthens its position as a global alternative‑protein innovation hub
Multiple analyses published in 2026 highlight China’s rapid progress across plant‑based, fermentation‑derived, and cultivated proteins.

New report: China could become a net exporter of alternative proteins by 2040
A 2026 report by Systemiq and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation suggests China is at “Year 0” of a food‑system transformation.
