𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐥! 🌱 Portugal is embracing sustainability with the approval of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), which includes a strategy to boost plant-based protein consumption. This aligns with global efforts to transform our food systems into more sustainable and healthier models. At Cell4Food, we’re happy to see our country recognise the importance of alternative proteins. While the current focus is on plant-based proteins, we’re optimistic it sets the stage for the approval of cellular meat and seafood in the near future. 🚀 The journey toward a sustainable food system has begun, and Portugal is leading with bold and forward-thinking decisions. The future is bright—and greener! 🌍 See more of our work at wwww.cell4food.eu! #SustainableFood #CellularAgriculture #Innovation #FutureOfFood
Portugal takes a step towards a national plant-based food plan! 🌱 The Portuguese government has approved a National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), including the creation of a national strategy to promote plant-based protein consumption, thanks to ProVeg Portugal's efforts! 🫛 The document states the need to reduce the consumption of animal-based proteins and to promote plant-based alternatives, and demands the following key action measures: - Developing a national strategy to promote plant-based protein consumption: The need to boost the production and consumption of plant-based proteins, especially legumes (linking it to the sustainability and healthiness of individual dietary choices). - Supporting self-sufficiency in protein crops and advancing food security. - Expanding plant-based options in public canteens: Implementing training programs and increasing the availability of plant-based meals. This is an encouraging move for a plant-powered future! Which other countries should implement a similar national strategy? Let us know ⬇️ #ProVeg #PlantBasedProtein #AlternativeProtein
