After several months of joint work with our Flemish counterparts at Next Food Chain & ProVeg Belgium, the position paper “Towards a Resilient and Sustainable Belgian Protein System” was presented today at the Federal Parliament, supported by more than 100 organizations across the country’s three regions.

The document covers two major areas: mapping the current state of plant-based and novel proteins in Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels, and proposing a common framework to structure a coherent interregional response.

The work presented before Flemish, Walloon, and federal parliamentarians is a concrete signal: the protein transition is beginning to find political resonance, not just industrial.

This is a first step. Reducing our food system’s dependence on a narrow base of animal-derived ingredients is a long-term undertaking; this document provides a structured and collective approach to it.

After several months of joint work with our Flemish counterparts at Next Food Chain & ProVeg Belgium, the position paper “Towards a Resilient and Sustainable Belgian Protein System” was presented today at the Federal Parliament, backed by more than 100 organizations across the country’s three regions.

The document covers two major areas: mapping the current state of plant-based and novel protein development in Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels — and proposing a shared framework to structure a coherent response at the interregional level.

Seeing this work presented before Flemish, Walloon, and federal parliamentarians is a concrete signal: the protein transition is beginning to gain political traction, not just industrial momentum.

This is a first step. Reducing our food system’s dependence on a narrow base of animal-derived ingredients is a long road — this document is a way to make that journey structured and collective.
