Just a few weeks ago there was a national conference in Holland on how
to accelerate bringing protein innovations to the market. There are a
couple of initiatives that caught my attention:
- Jagran BV is working on a project JAMO that utilizes organic waste
streams to grow insects to feed fish, jummy :)
- In The Hague, where I live, we have a "vegetarian butcher" that
sells all kind of really good looking products that look and taste the
same as meat, but does not contain any. They have a web shop, so maybe
they also send stuff abroad: http://www.devegetarischeslager.nl/
- An increase in local soy production, because most soy is now
imported from all over the world, which is not that environmentally
friendly in terms of energy consumption.
- The founding of a new business consortium called "The Planet" which
brings together all producers of ingredients, intermediate and
consumer end products http://www.hetplaneet.nl/
- Together these parties lobby for the foundation of a new Protein
Competence Center that focusses soley on research on innovative
protein production
- The Dutch department of agriculture has made some nice movies about
protein issues http://www.nieuwvers.nu/menu/vlees-en-zuivel.php
For any Dutch people interested, the conference was organized by The
Bridge Business Innovators, final report (in Dutch) can be found here:

Sorry for all the Dutch links. Hopefully it inspires others around the
world to start working on a more sustainable future
