Who can claim their spot on the Protein Transition Map NL?
The Protein Transition Map NL used a selection process to accurately present relevant companies and organisations.
The criteria of the Map, regarding the value chain, includes actors from breeders and ‘more than farmers’ up till food service. This means food service is not included on the Map. ‘More than farmers’ are farmers that not only grow crops or pulses but also add value to their products through processing.
Other criteria to be eligible for claiming your spot on the Map include:
A) Your company or organisation is based in the Netherlands, and
B) You focus solely on protein solutions other than conventional meat, fish, or dairy*. Therefore, the map includes actors that aim to accelerate the Protein Transition, restoring the balance between the consumption of plant-based and animal-based proteins. Think about actors focusing on pulses, algae, seaweed, mycoproteins, insects, and cultured meat, including actors that enable the Protein Transition.
OR
C) You focus partially on the Protein Transition, meaning that next to your focus on plant-based proteins, you also focus on animal-based proteins or other (innovation) areas. This aligns with products produced based on both plant- and animal-based proteins, or educational institutions also focusing on other topics such as the circular economy. **
– Educational institutions who are focusing on the Protein Transition, are also included on the map.
If you have a question or remark about this selection process, send an email to info@foodvalley.nl
*Thus, conventional protein sources such as meat, fish, dairy, and eggs are not qualified to be on the map.
** 1% of the economic value of the hybrid actors is accounted for in the economic analysis of the Protein Transition Map NL
