Horizon4Proteins

While facing climate change and natural resource scarcity, ensuring sufficient, nutritious, safe and affordable food to a fast growing world population with changing dietary habits becomes increasingly challenging. The protein supply is in this respect most critical. Integration of a variety of new or alternative protein sources from both terrestrial and aquatic origin into new and/or existing processes or products needs to be explored, in order to develop and ensure more sustainable, resilient supply chains, featuring high consumer acceptability by a clean labelling approach and attractive market opportunities.

 

Sharing this goal, the EU H2020 funded projects NextGenProteins, ProFuture, Smart Protein, and SUSINCHAIN launched Horizon4Proteins, a Webinar series – started on 13th December 2021 —to work together in key aspects such as: Consumer acceptance of alternative proteins, safety and regulatory challenges, food applications, and sustainability.

 

In May 2023, GIANT LEAPS, Like-a-PRO and VALPRO Path projects also joined the Cluster to support the EU transition towards a more sustainable and resilient food system.
Horizon4Proteins invites researchers, farmers, producers and policymakers to join the conversation and contribute to the present and future of the sector.
