We explore alternative sources of protein for balanced, tasty, healthy and safe nutrition
Protein diversificationFood Pilot
The Food Pilot helps companies, labs and governments with their agri-food challenges: product development, process optimization or troubleshooting technical production problems. Within a co-creative process we bring solutions in the form of advice, lab analyses and/or pilot trials performed on semi-industrial processing equipment. We work strictly confidential. The Food Pilot is a collaboration between ILVO and Flanders' FOOD.
