new VALue landscapes for plant PROtein Pathways

目前的欧洲植物蛋白景观是有缺陷的。社会对食用动物性蛋白质对环境影响的认识提高，推动了公众对替代性、可持续的膳食蛋白质来源的认识。然而，生产系统主要集中在直接转移到动物部门的饲料生产上，试图对抗欧盟对进口饲料的过度依赖。从本质上讲，缺乏优质供应链-农民错过了他们已经在欧洲种植的作物中存在的增值机会。有必要提高农业系统的复原力，以缓解日益动荡的气候模式，并支持农业系统实现“从农场到餐桌”的战略目标。基于共同创造，创新和示范的原则，VALPRO Path将设计，验证和提供可持续和有竞争力的植物蛋白作物系统和价值链。它将专注于为供应链中的所有参与者提供经济价值，利用超越最先进的创新，展示和评估5个多利益相关者“生活实验室”创新生产系统（IPS）的潜力。在行业的大力参与下，该项目将为植物蛋白生产提供更强大的生态系统，并得到社会，经济，环境，气候和健康效益的有力证据的支持。VALPRO路径将提供新的，可持续的商业模式，展示如何集中研究可以付诸实践。豆类轮作的可持续多样化将支持向环境上更可持续的农业过渡。欧洲农业正处于可持续提供膳食蛋白质的关键时刻。它可以拥抱现有创新所带来的机会，这些创新被整合到现实生活中，以支持利益相关者实现土著、完全可追溯的植物蛋白存在的新市场机会。

The current European plant-protein landscape is flawed. Heightened societal awareness of the environmental impact of consuming animal-based protein is driving the public’s awareness of alternative, sustainable sources of dietary protein. Yet, production systems are focussed heavily on the production of feedstock for direct transfer into animal sectors in an attempt to counter the EU’s over-dependency on imported feed. In essence, there is an absence of premium supply chains - farmers miss out on added-value opportunities that exist within the crops they already grow across Europe. There is a need to increase resilience in farming systems to mitigate against increasingly volatile climate patterns and to support farming systems to meet Farm-to-Fork strategic objectives. Built on the principles of co-creation, innovation and demonstration, VALPRO Path will design, validate and deliver sustainable and competitive plant protein crop systems and value chains. Focussed on underpinning economic value for all actors in the supply chain, it will exploit beyond state-of-the-art innovations, demonstrating and evaluating potential across 5 multi-stakeholder ‘living lab’ innovation production systems (IPSs). With strong industry involvement, the project will deliver a stronger ecosystem for plant protein production, supported with robust evidence of the social, economic, environmental, climate and health benefits. VALPRO Path will deliver new, sustainable business models, showing how focussed research can come into practice. Sustainable diversification of rotations with grain legumes will support the transition to more environmentally sustainable farming. European agriculture is at a juncture in regards to the sustainable provision of dietary protein. It can embrace opportunities presented through existing innovations that are integrated into real-life scenarios to support stakeholders realise the new market opportunities that exist for indigenous, fully traceable plant protein.
