Ministerial Discussion: National Approaches to Protein Diversification and International Collaboration

Event Local Time: 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. BRT

Ministers from Brazil, Denmark, The Gambia, and Thailand will discuss the concept of protein diversification — the equitable rebalancing of animal-sourced, plant-based, and novel proteins within the food system — in specific national contexts. In this session, leaders will share how they are encouraging the diversification of sources of protein that are produced and consumed in their respective countries — from those fighting unhealthy protein overconsumption to those who are working to ensure that their citizens have access to nutritious food. International collaboration will be key to ensure a just transition towards an equitable distribution of protein that stays within planetary boundaries.
