A protein transition is happening
As Europe transitions towards a more sustainable food system, Germany faces the challenge of reducing its reliance on animal-based proteins while ensuring that consumers have access to high-quality, nutritious, and tasty alternatives. The shift towards a more balanced protein consumption, moving from the current 50/50 split between animal and alternative proteins to a 40/60 ratio, requires innovation, collaboration, and market-driven solutions.
Recognising this opportunity, a group of leading Dutch companies has joined forces to form ‘Die neuen Protein NL Partner für Deutschland’, New Proteins Germany, a public-private partnership dedicated to accelerating Germany’s protein transition.
Partners in food innovation
Internationally known for our food innovation, the Netherlands has extensive expertise in developing alternative proteins. This Dutch cluster brings together a diverse group of businesses specialising in plant-based ingredients, hybrid products, high-protein products, and cutting-edge food technologies. By offering a diverse set of integrated solutions, from ingredient development and processing technologies to market-ready end products, the partnership aims to support Germany’s shift towards more sustainable and health-conscious consumption patterns.
Farming the Future together
The Netherlands and Germany share a vision for the future of food, one that is sustainable, innovative, and consumer-driven. With Dutch expertise and German market strength, this collaboration has the potential to redefine the protein landscape, creating a healthier, more sustainable food system for generations to come. Let’s transform the protein sector together!
