The algae, yeast and insect sectors launch a new collaboration to support the upscaling of EU protein production
The EU umbrella organizations for the algae (EABA), yeast (COFALEC) and insect production sectors (IPIFF) join forces in supporting efforts to upscale EU protein production.
The organizations launched a joint roadmap that focuses on four main pillars:
- Unlocking regulatory opportunities
- Facilitating access to green investment
- Supporting R&D efforts
- Developing joint promotion/communication activities
“The scientific evidence from past years provides promising directions to raise awareness around the nutritional and environmental benefits of alternative proteins – and along with other sectors active in the production of such new proteins, we are committed to addressing possible challenges”, mentioned IPIFF’s second vice-President, Antoine Hubert.
“All three sectors have expressed their commitment to strengthen their partnership to further explore the nutritional and environmental benefits associated with these innovative solutions – especially in the context of EU funded research”, mentioned IPIFF’s first vice-President, Aman Paul.
