LIKE-A-PRO: From niche to mainstream - alternative proteins for everybody and everywhere

LIKE-A-PRO aims to make alternative proteins a natural part of European diets — for healthier and more sustainable food.

Can European dietary habits be healthier and more sustainable? The EU-funded LIKE-A-PRO project will answer this question, and more.

It will explore the production of new food products from alternative protein sources such as rapeseed, mealworms, krill, microbes, mushrooms, fermented fungi and peas. It will also investigate the consumers’ needs and ways to meet them with new products. The project will carry out activities to understand the eating habits of Europeans in order to find ways to adapt the products they like to consume. The middle food system actors will also be engaged to make alternative products an easy and economically viable choice.

The project’s overall aim is to mainstream alternative proteins, making them accessible, available and widely acceptable.
