SAFE at the FEASTS Final Event: Exploring the Future of Sustainable Proteins
28 October 2026
SAFE was pleased to take part in the final event of FEASTS in Brussels, which brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss alternative proteins and their potential to support more sustainable food systems.
During the event, Daemon Ortega Froysa, representing SAFE, presented key findings from LIKE-A-PRO, an EU-funded project focused on innovative protein sources and sustainable food production. Participants also had the opportunity to learn about the latest insights from EPIC-SHIFT, another initiative working to advance the transition towards more sustainable food systems.
Discussions throughout the event highlighted two major challenges facing the wider adoption of alternative proteins: regulatory barriers and scalability. Speakers stressed that securing adequate financing, attracting investment, and ensuring long-term economic viability are critical to bringing innovative protein solutions to market and enabling their large-scale deployment.
The event underlined the importance of collaboration across sectors. Policymakers, researchers, industry representatives, and innovators must work together to overcome existing obstacles and unlock the full potential of alternative proteins in creating a more sustainable and resilient food system.
