More plant-based and less animal proteins in our diet: that is the aim of the protein transition. Sufficient proteins are important for a healthy body, but this must not be at the expense of the planet. A new balance of 60% plant-based and 40% animal proteins contributes to the solutions for climate change and the biodiversity crisis. That is, if they are produced responsibly.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n

It is important that the protein transition happens in a responsible manner, with consideration for nature and people in the plant-based value chains themselves. For this, it is essential that international production chains of plant-based ingredients meet sustainability requirements, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\"\"<\/a>Shorter, plant-based chains help the planet, but can only do so if they are produced responsibly with respect for nature and people. IUCN NL has therefore published a practical guide to responsible plant-based value chains, with fact sheets on 16 different value chains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Sustainable plant-based food worldwide – A guide for international value chain management in the protein transition<\/em> consists of two parts. The first part discusses the what, how and why of responsible plant-based protein value chains and the second part analyses sixteen chains, which are presented in clear fact sheets, and a comparative overview. Please share any feedback and more information on methods and opportunities with us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
