Qual è stata la sfida/problema affrontato?

 

Netherlands and Europe are excessively reliant on the import of plant-based protein sources, such as soy, from outside the EU and the Netherlands. In an effort to foster a more diverse range of plant-based protein cultivation, the National Protein Strategy outlines the goal of cultivating 100,000 hectares with protein-rich crops by 2030, a fivefold increase from the current situation. Growers in Gelderland are eager to further develop the cultivation of lupine for human consumption.

Come hai risolto il problema?

 

The project aims to strengthen lupine cultivation for human consumption by aligning demand and supply and creating added value. The focus is on organic and biodynamic cultivation methods. The key objectives include:

Chain and Product Development: Establish at least three innovative lupine product lines within the (short) supply chain. To achieve this, the project will maintain control over the supply chain to processors by investing in an in-house cleaning and polishing line, identified as essential in the initial exploratory phase. Successivamente, multidisciplinary teams involving farmers and chain partners will develop and market the three lupine product lines.

Knowledge and Experience Sharing: Engage a minimum of 12 participating organic and/or biodynamic agricultural entrepreneurs and chain partners in a working group to share experiences. The group includes farmers cultivating at least 3 hectares, with at least 50% of participants from Gelderland. Proving grounds will be set up at one location with this group to compare the best varieties and measures while fostering discussions on lupine. Some of these farmers will also participate in chain groups to develop and market lupine products.

All activities are geared towards developing sustainable, resilient earning and value models for farmers and involved (short) supply chain partners that contribute to the (local) economy, nature, e l'ambiente.

Che ruolo gioca il consulente o il servizio di consulenza nel caso pratico??

Mainly coordinated by farmers themselves but supported by small advisory organizations

Il tuo approccio può essere trasferito e/o adattato per altre sfide e regioni dell'innovazione??
