Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Identifies existing and prospective levers to encourage the production of plant-based food in the EU.

Weaknesses

  • The EU Protein Plan is mainly concerned with increasing protein production for animal feed, does not recognize the need for reduction in animal-source food production and consumption. Furthermore, the plan was never implemented.
