In Denmark the government has adopted an action plan to encourage the country’s move towards plant-based foods and the production of plant proteins.

In the UK 2023 was a record year for funding research into alternative proteins, while the Dutch government is supporting projects on cellular agriculture, cultivated meat from cells and animal-free dairy. //
