𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ‘𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥’ ♻️ This Tuesday, we proudly joined the Upcycled4Food Initiative, which is aimed at making upcycled food products and ingredients ‘the new normal’ for producers, supermarkets, and food service providers. 🌱🎉 Out of the collaborative effort of 50 leading organizations, amongst which Albert Heijn, Symrise AG, Unilever and Stichting Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling, the position paper ‘Upcycled Food and Ingredients’ was written, outlining a shared vision for maximizing the use of side streams in the agrifood chain. This paper delves into the challenges and opportunities within the growing market for upcycled foods and ingredients. ♻️ One of the key steps outlined in the paper has just been realized with the launch of this Upcycled4Food initiative. This initiative seeks to forge new collaborations across the supply chain, resulting in innovative products and ingredients. Our collective goal is to ensure that the production, sourcing, and supply of upcycled food products becomes the standard in the industry. ✨ We are thrilled to be part of this Foodvalley NL initiative with our yeast oils produced from food industry side streams. We look forward to playing a significant role in this movement over the coming years and contributing to a more sustainable future! 🌿 #NoPalmIngredients #Upcycled4Food #Foodvalley #Upcycling #Innovation #Sustainability #Biotech

Looking for leadership and innovation in supporting healthy, sustainable eating in destinations? Check out the Living Labs of the Plan'Eat Project: https://lnkd.in/gzYu2Ke6 Imagine if event caterers in every destination had a tool enabling them to compare the impact of different food and drinks across eight different welfare and sustainability indicators, and share that information easily with customers? Such a tool exists for 9 different European countries already. Check it out!: https://safad.se/ From SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Well-aligned food policies are needed at both national and international level to guide food system transformation towards sustainability. Rigorous indicator frameworks are essential in order to facilitate discussion of priorities, enable comparisons, assessment and progress monitoring, and ensure accountability. In this study, we develop a national framework for a sustainable food system, using Sweden as a case.

"From plants to plates: The delicious journey of Beyond Meat" Founded in 2009 by Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat quickly emerged as a pioneer in sustainable food innovation. With a focus on creating plant-based meat substitutes that replicate the taste and texture of traditional meat, the company's breakthrough came with the launch of the Beyond Burger in 2016. By leveraging innovative plant-based ingredients like pea protein and coconut oil, Beyond Meat succeeded in offering consumers a delicious and sustainable alternative to animal-based proteins. Strategic partnerships with major retailers and restaurants, along with support from high-profile investors, propelled Beyond Meat's growth and market expansion. Their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship resonated with consumers seeking healthier and more eco-conscious food options. Through relentless innovation, market expansion, and a dedication to sustainability, Beyond Meat has not only transformed the plant-based food industry but also sparked a broader conversation about the future of food and the importance of sustainability in our global food system.
