Sustainable Plant Protein Ingredients
By Henk Hoogenkamp - Author & Protein Technology Expert
All protein starts with plants. Protein is the only macronutrient that has not been demonized. On the contrary, people living in developed and affluent countries can’t seem to get enough of it. Yet, society should not close its eyes to climate change, especially extreme weather and rapid population growth, which is intensifying pressure on traditional protein sources, making the search for innovative alternative proteins imperative for global protein security and resilience. An ideal dietary intake will require diversified animal- and plant-based sources, providing high-quality nutritive values and sensory experiences.
