Sustainable proteins
Throughout history, protein has always aroused the interest of consumers. However, the balance between their consumption and human well-being has been a subject of heated debate over the centuries. At the same time, environmental scientists are now pointing to the need for a change in diet in the westernised world, advocating higher proportions of plant proteins.
