IRTA_CIPA_Centro de Innovación en Proteínas Alternativas.

The initiative focuses on advancing research on alternative proteins, with the aim of improving food systems and promoting sustainability. Established in Catalonia, it operates as a virtual research center that collaborates with diverse researchers from across the region. The initiative aims to address the challenges of producing alternative proteins for both human consumption and animal feed, with an emphasis on self-sufficiency and reducing dependence on imported materials. By exploring diverse sources, such as plants and insects, the project aims to innovate and develop economically viable solutions, while collaborating with stakeholders to ensure the practical application of its findings.
