The problems and prospects of developing food products from high-protein raw materials

The world community is witnessing global changes to the food system. There has been a steady trend in protein consumption toward replacing animal-derived protein with plant-based sources. The reason is that meat production has a disproportionate effect on the environment because of the amount of resources used and the negative ecological impact. Another evident problem is the lack of protein in the diet in certain regions of the world. The low assimilation of plant-based protein prevents its widespread use in the human diet. Understanding the key trends, the conceptual foundations and international strategic initiatives, as well as application of modern achievements in science and technology, will allow one to solve the problem of providing high-quality plant based food for mankind.
