PROTEIN2FOOD is expected to provide a substantial contribution to the ongoing scientific and political discussions in the field of sustainable agriculture, by developing crop-based, protein-rich, and environmentally friendly alternatives for meat-based diets.

These project aims were presented by Andreas Detzel (IFEU) with a poster titled; “PROTEIN2FOOD – a Horizon 2020 project on novel plant-based protein-rich food for fostering sustainable food consumption”, at the 10th International Conference on Life Cycle Assessment of Food.

This event took place in October at University College Dublin (UCD) and involved the discussion of major topics related to sustainable agriculture and the contribution of human systems in the food chain, focusing particularly on different dietary patterns and the environmental impact they might have. Ensuring future protein supply for food and feed was among the most highly discussed issues. image1
