Name of research project:
LIKE-A-PRO: From niche to mainstream - alternative proteins for everybody and everywhere
Description:
The project aims at discovering the individual and environmental barriers/facilitators that affect consumers’ choices of food products from alternative protein sources. We will investigate acceptability, and availability of alternative-protein-based food across various populations in 11 European countries. Together with living labs in the local community we will co-create effective means to promote an inclusion of products from alternative protein sources to daily diet. Sixteen new alternative food products will be develop based proteins obtained from sustainable sources (microbial, fungi, krill and insects). These products will be matched with consumers’ preferences and the existing food environment systems.

Number of positions: 1
Responsibilities:
- Conducting systematic reviews of research on the food environment and individual, social, environmental and political determinants of consumer choices for sustainable foods (including in particular products with alternative proteins).
- Implementation of 13 workshops mapping the environment, barriers and facilitators for the inclusion of alternative protein products in the diet.
- Identification and mobilisation of local stakeholders who can promote food from alternative proteins.
- Conducting workshops for local stakeholders to identify how to promote alternative protein foods.
- Analysis of data management issues in open science and ethics monitoring of activities promoting food consumption from alternative proteins.
