VALPRO Path
Research Project
The EU's heavy reliance on imported plant protein limits local farmers from maximizing their crop value. Absent premium supply chains miss opportunities to unlock the true worth of these protein sources. Current business models lack focus on crucial aspects like nutrient capture, climate resilience, and circularity, hindering sustainable progress. VALPRO Path aims to redirect food-chain actors towards sustainable plant protein production, pioneering new approaches to enhance EU's food and feed sources. With dynamic Innovation Production Systems (IPSs) strategically placed in Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Denmark, and a specific focus on high-value protein crops like pea, lupin, chickpea, faba bean, soybean, and lentils, VALPRO Path is pioneering innovative production and processing systems. To ensure that newly developed practices align with the requirements of the European plant protein market, VALPRO path will formulate tailored business models for each specific IPS. These models will furnish essential insights encompassing market analysis, competitor analysis, and target users. VALPRO Path articles on Wikifarmer are authored by the Foodscale Hub team, a consortium member of VALPRO Path and dissemination and communication leader.
