🌱 Introducing the Future of Food: Shrimpea Ibiden’s Alternative Plant Protein
Presented by Leave a Nest Singapore – A Science Workshop
Date: 21st November 2025
Time: 10:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Venue: Waseda Shibuya Senior High School
Together with Shrimpea Ibiden, Leave a Nest Singapore invites the students of Waseda Shibuya to explore the science behind alternative proteins and to imagine a future where sustainability and delicious food go hand in hand. This is a closed-door exclusively event for students of Waseda Shibuya Senior High School. Attendance is limited to provide a focused and engaging learning experience.
Rethinking Protein for a Sustainable Future
As the global population grows and the demand for protein rises, the world faces a critical challenge; how can we provide nutritious food for everyone without depleting natural resources? This question has inspired a new wave of innovation in alternative proteins, where science and sustainability meet to create food that's better for people and the planet.
Ibiden's Shrimpea: Cultivating the Next Generation of Seafood
At the forefront of this movement is Ibiden, a company pioneering cultivated protein technology. Instead of catching shrimp from the ocean, Ibiden grows vegan shrimp alternatives using advanced biotechnology, recreating the texture, nutrition, and flavor of real shrimp, without the environmental impact. Ibiden's Shrimpearepresents a breakthrough in how we think about seafood production, offering a cleaner, cleaner-free, and climate-friendly alternative to conventional aquaculture. Through Shrimpea, Ibiden Bussan is leading the way toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible seafood culture aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Why Alternative Proteins Matter
- Environmental Impact: Traditional meat and seafood production requires vast amounts of land, water, and feed. Cultivated and plant-based proteins dramatically reduce these demands.
- Food Security: As the global population approaches 10 billion, alternative proteins can help ensure stable and scalable food supplies.
- Allergen Alternatives: Vegan alternative to shrimp allows people who are allergic to shrimp to still enjoy the taste and texture of an actual shrimp.
Through innovation, research, and collaboration, scientists and companies like Shrimpea Ibiden are creating pathways to a sustainable and resilient global food future.
Empowering the Next Generation
Leave a Nest is proud to support educational initiatives that introduce students to these real-world innovations. By connecting science learning with cutting-edge Alternative protein technology, we aim to inspire young minds to become future leaders in sustainable food and environmental science. Together with Shrimpea Ibiden, Leave a Nest invites educators, students, and innovators to explore the science behind alternative proteins and to imagine a future where sustainability and delicious food go hand in hand.
