Future-proof nutrition: Foodvalley unveils Protein Transition Map with Dutch innovators

25 Apr 2024 — The growing demand for alternative, sustainable protein offers opportunities to F&B and nutrition manufacturers, but production roadblocks limit innovations in protein transition — shifting diets toward plant-based substitutes. Foodvalley’s new online tool highlights the impact of 500+ actors involved in the Dutch protein transition. 

Foodvalley underscores that the plant-based protein industry demands higher quality ingredients, but available knowledge, technology and facilities must catch up. An EU standstill on protein-rich resource breeding development adds to the problem, while many ingredients still need to be optimized for processing, decreasing the availability of key nutrients.
