There is global awareness of the need to increase sustainable food availability not only as a way to preserve environmental resources but to meet the growing demand for nutritious foods for human consumption. As more plant-based foods are growing in acceptance and are being developed as a result, there are unique opportunities and challenges that come to light. The opportunities arise from the recognition of unique health-promoting properties of plant foods (e.g. fiber and micronutrients) however, it is recognized that plant protein is generally of lower quality than animal protein and may contain compounds that inhibit nutrient absorption. This session aims to highlight these areas and how nutrition practitioners and the food industry are addressing these issues to leverage the growing opportunity in bringing more sustainable foods to the world.
