India, a global leader in agriculture, faces sustainability challenges feeding its population. Although primarily vegetarian population, the consumption of animal derived proteins has tremendously increased recent years. Excessive dependency on is not environmentally sustainable, necessitating identification alternative smart proteins. Smart are benign and mimic properties (dairy, egg meat) from plant proteins, microbial fermentation, insects cell culture meat (CCM) processes. This review critically evaluates technological, safety, involved production their consumer acceptance Indian context. Under current circumstances, plant-based most favorable; however, limited land availability impending climate change makes them unsustainable long run. CCM unaffordable with high input costs limiting commercialization near future. Microbial-derived could be sustainable option for future owing to higher productivity ability grow low-cost substrates. A circular economy approach integrating agri-horti waste valorization C1 substrate synthesis biomass offer economic viability. Considering use novel additives processing techniques, evaluation allergenicity, bioavailability protein products necessary before large-scale adoption.
