Building a Sustainable and Diversified Protein Landscape Beyond Polarization: Opportunities for Farmers, Society, and the Environment
The food and agriculture sector is at the heart of critical debates within the EU. One key issue—the future of proteins, from production to consumption—has sparked polarized discussions, with various concerns often framed as irreconcilable. We see an opportunity to bridge these divides. As a diverse coalition representing actors across the value chain, we are committed to shift the conversation from polarization to collaboration. With the new EU mandate, the momentum from the Draghi and Letta reports, the crafting of a Food and Agriculture Vision, and the outcomes of the Strategic Dialogue, we believe there is a unique opportunity to position diverse, sustainable protein sources—plant, animal, and novel—as essential, complementary pillars of Europe’s future food system.
