To assist the general public sector resolve limitations within the protein transition, Wageningen College & Analysis (WUR) launches the marketing campaign ‘Protein Transition: from ache factors to views’. In 4 periods (from November 2022 – February 2023) a multidisciplinary workforce of WUR specialists zooms in on the 4 greatest challenges for policymakers AND presents views. From decreasing dependency on soy import to shaping a round meals system.
“We’re all more and more conscious of the necessity for motion within the protein transition: a consumption shift from animal to plant-based and various protein sources and rethinking the best way animal sourced meals are produced. But the complexity of this problem which touches on local weather change, nitrogen cycles, and lack of biodiversity, makes it tough to navigate. Due to this fact, WUR desires to supply future views and stimulate public sector dialogue”, explains Stacy Pyett, Co-Coordinator Protein Transition program at WUR.
4 periods
In month-to-month on-line periods (from 22 November 2022 to February 2023) WUR specialists will talk about the challenges, and dive deeper into views: pathways by which limitations might be resolved and protein coverage might be designed extra successfully. The matters are:
- Innovating traditions: futures for dairy farmers – Applied sciences akin to precision fermentation can play an essential function within the manufacturing of different proteins. However what are the probabilities and what motivates farmers to undertake such applied sciences?
- Methods for a consumption shift: in the direction of a extra plant-based weight-reduction plan – We frequently concentrate on the accountability of particular person shoppers or on the event of revolutionary meals merchandise, akin to meat substitutes. This session is about different methods to stimulate a extra plant-based weight-reduction plan, plus the best coverage devices on this regard.
- Much less reliance on soy imports: options for animal feed, primarily based on bugs, microalgae and facet streams – Worldwide many nations rely on soy imports, particularly for livestock feed and feed for aquaculture. WUR specialists will present sustainable and inexpensive options, primarily based on their findings from a Lake Victoria case examine and contemplate how the outcomes might be rolled out worldwide.
- Animals as recyclers: in the direction of a round meals system – How can we produce sufficient protected and nutritious meals for future populations with out depleting sources or destroying ecosystems? WUR specialists will visualize future state of affairs’s utilizing the Round Meals System Mannequin.
Participation is freed from cost. All policymakers, NGOs and different stakeholders of the protein transition worldwide are welcome.
