Green Protein Alliance
The Green Protein Alliance (GPA) is a unique alliance between 25 retailers, the catering industry, food producers and 10 knowledge partners in the Netherlands, supported by the Dutch Government. Their common goal: restoring a healthy and sustainable balance in protein consumption.
The current ratio of plantbased:animal protein in the Dutch diet is 37:63. GPA’s ambition is to realize a 50:50 balance no later than 2025. This balance is a first step towards a more healthy and sustainable diet. Our Green Protein Growth Plan (in Dutch) describes how we realize this ambition.
Experts worldwide agree: the protein transition, or shift, is the most urgent challenge in the food domain.
The GPA was founded in 2017. Already in its first year, the association proved that a transition approach, involving all chain-partners, works: consumption of meat and dairy is declining, while that of pulses, nuts, meat analogues and plant-based alternatives for dairy are rising.
Members of the GPA include major retailers and producers, as well as innovative starters. They offer plant-protein food products rich in pulses, nuts, mushrooms, micro- and macro-algae (seeweed). Also banks and Provences are members. Knowledge partners assist the GPA in providing supportin evidence on e.g. health, nutriotion, transition management and sustainablity.
