Protein Transition

Proteins form the building blocks of life on earth. Both the quantity and quality of food are critical for the health of humans and animals. At the moment, a considerable portion of our protein is consumed through animal products. Wageningen University & Research is looking for ways to increase the availability and diversity of proteins from the perspectives of various disciplines: food science, agricultural and production technology and consumer behaviour. Read more about the future of proteins here.

Wageningen Youth Institute is organizing an immersion activity on Protein Transition during the Global Youth Institute. Join the activity on (date follows).

Also take a look at the Ideal Burger Challenge that is currently running. This is an international project in which high school students from The Netherlands, Ghana and Honduras work on making and baking a plant based burger!
