In Germany, the Science-Policy-Interface focuses on legumes for human consumption. It is built around the case study for plant-based protein. The SPI discusses how barriers can be overcome to increase legume production on farmland. This is supported by the German government’s food strategy, which aims to focus more on a plant-based diet.
The SPI involves farmers, processors, producers, distributors, researches, retailers and policy makers in the discussion to find holistic solutions along the entire value chain.
