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.
