Spain demonstrates the cost of climate inaction – and the urgent need for Europe to invest in protein diversification.
In part five of our series to help startups in the alternative protein field grow, we explore how creative offtake strategies, like pre-orders, conditional contracts, and public procurement, can break the cycle of stalled investment.
Our recent report takes an in-depth look at the achievements to date and the challenges ahead for Spain to consolidate its position as the leading hub in southern Europe in the alternative protein sector.
