Protein Industries Canada announced a partnership that will develop nutritionally and functionally superior plant-based food products and beverages.

Protein Industries Canada announced a new project to strengthen the use and understanding of fermentation processing technology in ingredient and food processing.

There are many ways a company can go about growing and ensuring its environmental sustainability. When it comes to plant-based food and ingredient processing, one of the most significant is utilizing technology that’s as clean as possible.

Plant-based foods and beverages have a strong reputation related to sustainability, thanks largely to the crops used to develop the ingredients used in such products. Companies and organizations across the value chain believe the sector can go further, though, taking the production of plant-based foods and beverages from sustainable to fully carbon neutral.

Growing Canada’s plant-based food, feed and ingredients sector provides as many benefits as plant-based products themselves. And with everything from new market options for farmers, to a wider selection of healthy products on grocery shelves, there’s something for every Canadian to enjoy.

Protein Industries Canada announced a co-investment into a project that will diversify Canada’s meat-alternative product offerings and further position Canada as a global leader in the production of plant-based food and ingredients.

Protein Industries Canada members are no strangers to coming up with the novel concepts that will propel Canada’s plant-based food, feed and ingredients sector forward.

Protein Industries Canada recognizes Small Business Week. We are proud to have nearly 200 members that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

One of the elements that helps make a team successful is the unique set of ideas and experiences each member brings to the table. The more diverse these ideas and experiences are, the more likely the team will achieve its goals in innovative, long-lasting ways.

Universities across Canada play a multi-faceted role in helping advance the country’s plant-based food, feed and ingredients sector. Whether it’s helping build skills in the youth that will take the sector into the future, to completing research related to new technologies and crop varieties, universities affect nearly every step of the value chain.

Perhaps Tom Cochrane (or for all the parents with kids of the Cars generation – Rascal Flatts – but I am staying with the original, and keeping it Canadian), was right when he sang “Life is a Highway”. Over the past three years, I think I have made more references to being on a journey, destination or a road to somewhere than I thought possible.
