Research project

A shift from animal proteins to plant proteins is essential for a more sustainable food system. For this transition, healthy and tasty foods based on plant proteins need to be produced in a sustainable, ethical, and economically viable way. Sweden's agro-food industry has a great opportunity to leverage the increased demand for such products. To take advantage of this opportunity the agro-food industry needs to act pro-actively on a scientifically sound basis. With this as a starting point we have mobilized research groups from a variety of faculties, expert areas and institutes to address this highly relevant theme: Sweden's shift to plant proteins – knowledge gaps, obstacles and opportunities.
