SFS 15 -2014: Protein of the future
Type of action: Research and Innovation Action
Call for Sustainable Food Security
Safe food and healthy diets and sustainable consumption
Specific challenge: The growing demand for meat and other protein-rich food sources, in many parts of the
world, is of increasing concern in the light of growing population figures, environmental sustainability
issues and land-use and food security concerns. Questions related to optimal production and processing
methods, location (EU or other), health effects, environmental impact, and legal issues remain
unanswered. Consumer acceptance of new and/or improved sustainable protein sources, as well as other
factors related to market uptake, require further clarification if global food security together with
environmental and socio-economic sustainability is to be ensured.
Scope: A multidisciplinary approach, covering the whole food supply chain (from ‘farm to fork’) of new
and/or existing protein sources should be taken. The market potential for the producer and added value
for the consumer should be considered, together with food safety and quality parameters, regulatory
issues, health and diet-related risks and benefits, and gender issues. Appropriate dissemination and
knowledge uptake activities should be included, as well as industry participation with a specific focus on
SMEs. In line with the objectives of the Union’s strategy for international cooperation in research and
innovation, proposals are encouraged to include participants from third country27. A sustainability
assessment in line with the ILCD handbook28 should be conducted. Proposals should be focused on how
new and/or adapted protein sources can provide innovative, cost-effective and resource-efficient
alternatives to traditional sources with more positive impacts on human health, the environment and
biodiversity.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in the range of EUR 9
million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not
09-10-2015
preclude
submission
and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

Expected impact:
A significant increase in the quality of proteins and of the sustainability of
their production and processing.
A support to EU policies on agriculture, nutrition, health, environment,
development and sustainable food security by increased market uptake of
existing and/or new proteins that contribute to a healthy diet.
A strengthening of international research, industrial cooperation and the EU
economy, with a specific focus on SMEs and small-scale food processing.
An increase in new market opportunities, in the short and medium term, as
measured in terms of market share, turnover, employment and intellectual
property.
A clear contribution to social innovation due to Fair Trade/fairer trade, as
well as an increase in socio-economic and environmental sustainability.
