Increasing Europe’s protein self-sufficiency through the development of alternative plant protein sources.
As the European Union heavily depends on imported plant protein for food and livestock feed, the VALPRO Path project recognizes the urgency to build a self sustainable Europe. With a focus on harnessing plant protein production, this transformative initiative aims to facilitate a seamless transition from traditional practices to innovative approaches
In order to ensure a brighter plant protein future and reinvent production practices, VALPRO Path have set up 5 Innovation Production Systems (IPSs) pilots in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Denmark. Covering 5 pedo-climatic areas and protein crops with the highest value potential like pea, lupin, chickpea, faba bean and lentils, VALPRO Path will ensure sustainable growth of protein crops through variety selection of nutritionally best plant-protein sources and their combinations. In that way, IPSs will demonstrate novel value and underpin new models of circularity and value chain resilience
The Global Plant-based protein market was estimated and US$ 13.1 Billion in 2021, and projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% up to 2031. Scaling of novel crop opportunities
Offset of unsustainable imported protein sources. Development of nutrient efficient sustainable protein crops
By processing plant-based raw materials locally or directly on the farm, the aim is to provide additional value to farmers, enhance circularity, and boost income
