The book provides solutions from plant-based food companies to these challenges, tackling the rising global demand driven by population growth, income increase, urbanization, environmental awareness, health consciousness, and animal welfare concerns. Overall, it provides a summary of plant proteins, exploring their nutritional, environmental, and consumer-related aspects in the context of a shifting protein landscape. The book is relevant forfood scientists and technologists, nutritionists, policymakers, and professionals alike providing insights into plant-based diets and the future of food.
