Are sustainable ingredients and proteins the next-gen solution for food security?
As the global population is projected to rise by nearly 2 billion people in the next 30 years, the pressure to deliver nutritious, accessible, and sustainable proteins continues to mount. This rising demand is placing unprecedented strain on supply chains that are already stretched thin by geopolitical instability, economic volatility, and climate change. To counter these growing threats, the food and beverage industry is turning to sustainable farming practices, alternative proteins, and innovative ingredients to increase food security and system resilience. FoodNavigator-USA speaks with Cargill about the urgent need for sustainable solutions as global food systems face mounting uncertainty and fragile supply chains, driven by geopolitical conflicts, shifting trade dynamics, and the aftermath of the pandemic.
In parallel, REWE Group shares insights on the search for resilient and sustainable ingredient alternatives, spotlighting innovations in key sectors like cocoa, coffee, and fats and oils. The message is clear: To build a secure food system, we must rethink how we produce, source, and scale ingredients. By investing in alt-proteins, and prioritizing circular systems, industry leaders can pave the way toward a more stable and sustainable future.
