Building resilient supply chains in the plant based food manufacturing sector

_Rootful是一家成立于2022年8月的公司，旨在开发和开发利用食品行业的副产品和废物流制作的植物性食品。Rootful是一家初创企业，到目前为止还没有得到Innovate UK的资金。__食品供应链在科维德、英国退欧和乌克兰战争等事件中被证明是脆弱的，许多超市的货架都空无一人。以植物为基础的部门也没有什么不同，质构植物蛋白(TVP)等产品就是一个很好的例子。大豆生长在南美，运到中国那里，让他们提取蛋白质，挤压成TVP，然后带回欧洲添加到食品中。这种供应存在许多弱点，食品里程对环境的影响是巨大的。在英国和欧洲的超市和餐馆，大多数植物性食品都含有这些成分。__在鲁蒂福，我们相信有一种更好的方法，我们利用我们的创新制造来转化当地种植的蛋白质来源，联合产品通常会被送到动物饲料中，以将其转化为更高价值的TVP，用于人类营养。我们希望在这个项目中解决关键的制造问题，在强大的供应链中创造世界级的制造。

_Rootiful is a company which was set up in August 2022 to develop and exploit plant based foods made using co-products and waste streams from the food industry. Rootiful is a start up and has received no Innovate UK funding to date.__Food supply chains have been shown to be fragile during events such as Covid, Brexit and Ukraine war, with many supermarket shelves becoming empty. The plant based sector is no different, with products such as textured vegetable proteins (TVP) being a prime example. Soy beans are grown in South America, shipped to China for the protein to be extracted and extruded into TVP and then brought back to Europe to be added into foods. There are many points of weakness in this supply and the environmental impact of the food miles is huge. The majority of plant based foods in UK and European supermarkets and restaurants contain these ingredients.__At Rootiful, we believe there is a better way, we use our innovative manufacturing to turn locally grown protein sources and co-products would normally be sent to animal feed to upcycle back into higher value TVP for use in human nutrition. We wish to tackle key manufacturing issues within this project to create world class manufacturing within a robust supply chain._
