“A Taste of Tomorrow” is the first study to look at the economic potential of alternative proteins for Germany, while also considering broader social and environmental benefits.
Systemiq’s analysis makes the economic case for diversifying the proteins we produce. With the right investment and policy support, it could drive economic growth, enhance trade opportunities, create future-proof jobs, and promote environmental sustainability, positioning Germany as a European leader in the emerging alternative protein sector.
The new analysis is produced with support from the non-profit think tank The Good Food Institute Europe. It finds that Germany is well placed to become a market leader in this growth sector. Alternative proteins could boost the German economy by up to €65 billion and create up to 250,000 jobs by 2045. To realise this potential, policymakers should invest an average of €260 million per year in research and infrastructure and provide support for a reliable path to market.
