Did you know that even though many people say they want to live sustainably, over 20% do not reflect this in their #FoodChoices? According to a report by EIT Food and the Future of Food Institute, there's a significant gap between consumer intentions and actions. Price, taste, and nutrition often take priority over #Sustainability in food choices. Brands need to communicate the tangible benefits of sustainability, highlighting how it can directly improve #Nutrition and #Taste, rather than just focusing on the environmental impact. Understanding who you target with your brand, and what they are motivated by will help you understand what brand narrative to choose to connect with those consumers. Show consumers they don’t have to compromise on what they love! Together, we must shift the narrative to create positive change, educating consumers on the personal benefits of sustainable choices. 

🌱 The fusion of protein innovation and indulgence is reshaping the future of food! At FiE 2024, Planteneers is diving deep into the latest cured meat alternatives – tapping into the growing demand for high-protein, plant-based indulgence. As consumers become more health-conscious, they aren't willing to compromise on taste. This shift presents an exciting opportunity for the food industry to innovate beyond traditional boundaries. But how can brands achieve the perfect balance between nutrition, sustainability, and that authentic taste experience consumers crave? 🤔 It’s not just about mimicking the flavor; it’s about creating products that truly satisfy both the ethical and sensory expectations of today’s discerning customers. As we push toward a plant-based future, the industry must also tackle the challenge of texture and appearance to ensure alternative proteins don't just look like the real thing but feel like it too. 🌍 This evolution extends beyond just "meatless" – it’s about crafting indulgent experiences that resonate on a deeper level, with sustainability at their core. The big question remains: Will plant-based products ever surpass traditional meats in taste and nutrition? And if so, what will that mean for future generations' relationship with food? 🔍 Let's keep the conversation going on how we can elevate plant-based indulgence to meet consumer expectations! #FoodInnovation #PlantBased #FutureOfProtein #SustainableFood

Retailers hold the key to change! 🛒🌱 It’s time to rebalance protein sales… Retailers are uniquely positioned to promote healthier and more sustainable eating habits, aligning consumer choices with global sustainability goals. By rebalancing their sales of plant-based and animal-based foods, setting and tracking clear protein targets and adopting strategies to achieve them, retailers can significantly change public health and environmental outcomes. The recommended split between plant-based and animal-based foods as per the Planetary Health Diet is around 70% plant to 30% animal when all food groups are included, and 60% plant to 40% animal when focusing on the ‘protein source’ food group. ⚖️ By monitoring and shifting the balance between plant and animal protein foods, retailers can uncover opportunities, develop and evaluate interventions, comply with regulatory expectations, generate value for their business, and enhance long-term viability.
