General project information · 01. July 2018

Recent years have seen an increase in meat consumption per capita in developing countries and a new trend in reducing meat consumption in industrialized countries. Decreasing meat consumption needs to be replaced by a high-protein diet based on plant proteins, resulting in a growing market for new products, a major source of protein-rich foods being legumes. Yellow pea is a power-packed protein source that is allergen-free and gluten-free for vegetarian, vegan and health-conscious consumers.

In this case study we are looking at the options for producing biomass suitable for animal feed or anaerobic digestion and how legumes in particular can help. We are focussing on winter crops to make best use of the full growing season.
