The nutritional value of animal proteins such as meat, eggs and dairy has already been demonstrated by several scientific studies. That there should be room for both plant and animal proteins is beyond dispute, according to Belgian and Dutch young animal nutrition professionals.
SUSTAINABLE ANIMAL PROTEINS ESSENTIAL
FOR HEALTHY DIET
Over 130 Belgian and Dutch Young Feed Professionals headed to Oud-Turnhout on May 30 for the 7th edition of the Young Feed Congress. This year the focus was on the question of whether we should choose between vegetable or animal proteins to face the strong population growth and the climate challenge. The Jongerencongres (Youth conference) is an annual event organized by young professionals from the Belgian and Dutch animal feed sector.
To meet the challenges in terms of food security, environmental and climate impact and public health, young animal feed professionals from Belgium and the Netherlands entered the debate on the role of the animal sector in the protein transition of the future. Rising population growth also increases the demand for protein, putting pressure on the current production and consumption model.
