PROTEIN2FOOD will:

  • enhance the protein production by 25% through new effective breeding techniques and optimised crop management, with an increase of 10% of Europe’s arable land destined to protein-crop production, including marginal soils
  • accelerate the transition in consumption of animal-based protein to plant-based protein in Europe with clear impact on reducing the carbon footprint
  • increase Europe’s agro-biodiversity by introducing novel high-quality crops
  • develop prototypes of new protein-rich foods with a viable market potential
  • improve Europe’s visibility in the area of food processing and technology through scientific publications in high impact factor journals
