Pioneering solutions for sustainable protein production in future

Pioneering solutions for sustainable protein production in future InnoProtein consortium, explain why sustainable protein production is urgently needed and how, with its circular, zero-waste approach, InnoProtein supports this goal. By 2050, population growth will play a major role in the state of the environmental, social and economic system. (1) Traditional protein products, with their vast amounts of animal derivates, are being presented as sustainably obsolete due to the high consumption of natural resources employed for their production. (2) Current protein production has a high environmental impact, and a general transition towards greener and sustainable consumption is required. Agriculture is responsible for 70-85% of the world’s water footprint and 30% of global GHG emissions. Meat production is the most impactful activity in food production.
