Securing Holistic and Impactful Food Systems Transformation with Novel Foods based on alternative proteins

Funded by HORIZON EUROPE-CL6-2024-FARM2FORK-01-7. Designed as a think-tank and adopting Food Systems Thinking approach, EPIC-SHIFT will provide a multidimensional impact assessment (LCA, SLCA, TEA) of various novel foods that are based on alternative sources of proteins (NFAP - from protein type to product level) at scale complemented with the necessary recommendations for food environments, marketing, regulatory approval, infrastructure and investment needed to support long-term market growth. EPIC-SHIFT integrated scenario analysis will further result in decision support tools that will inform policy and decision-making about the trajectories to achieve the sustainable integration of NFAP in the EU diets ensuring resource efficiency, food security and nutrition within a framework of just transition for all food system actors.
