Plant proteins
Health and the environment play a key role for consumers when considering plant-based alternatives. Consumers are attracted to plant-based alternative foods because they perceive them to be healthier and better for the planet, as well as in bringing more variety into their diets. As a result, European consumers are willing to pay 10% more for plant-based products.*
At Cargill, our purpose is to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way that requires us to help meet the nutritional needs of a growing population.
According to a Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' study**, global demand for protein is expected to increase by more than 70 percent over the next 30 years. Plant-based alternatives and cultivated protein, as a complement to traditional products, could help us serve this growing demand – as well as to meet evolving customer and consumer needs
Cargill shows great effort on the sustainability of wheat proteins across several areas:
- Environmentally friendly
- Sustainable sourcing
- Carbon reduction
- Transparency & traceability
- Food waste reduction
