Manitoba Protein Research Strategy a blueprint for province’s protein industry
Manitoba took another major step toward becoming a global leader in sustainable protein production with the release of the Manitoba Protein Research Strategy, a comprehensive research plan that will form the blueprint for the province’s ultimate success in this burgeoning market segment.
The province released the Manitoba Protein Advantage in 2019 to grow the plant and animal protein industry, create new value for producers and processors through innovation and value chain collaboration and attract new investment of $1.5 billion and 1,550 jobs by 2025.
The Manitoba and federal governments invested up to $100,000 in a research project led by Dr. James House, a professor at the University of Manitoba, who, along with a provincial consortium established in 2020, was tasked with creating the protein research strategy.
