Excessive dependence on imports of protein for animal feed
Description
Excessive dependence on imports of protein for animal feed, especially soy, undermines the competitiveness and sustainability of the entire value chain.
The INPULSE Operating Group (GO_INPULSE) was created to strengthen the cultivation of legumes in Spain and reduce the external dependence of protein for feed through the joint work of different actors (COAG, CESFAC, CARTIF, Agri-food cooperative of Aragón, Los Monegros Cooperative, IAS-CSIC, CITA and SERIDA)
Objectives
- Promote the production and use of legumes in Spain, through the design and evaluation of a systematized mechanism of use of legumes.
- Contribute to the diversification of food systems in Spain, improving its sustainability, favoring the competitiveness and economic development of the animal feed chain.
- Diagnose the needs of the agents of the animal feed chain, and reconnect that chain and encourage the transfer of knowledge to and from research.
Actions
- Typification and testing of varieties: varieties adapted to different agrosystems and agricultural practices, search for optimal yields in each area.
- Beneficial systems to the environment: reduction of the use of fertilizers, pesticides and water consumption, soil protection and improvement of storage processes.
- Protein quality requirements: quality analysis of protein value, collecting protein needs by sectors, technologies for determining nutritional values.
Expected results
- A group diagnosis document where all the actions carried out are collected.
- Generate and execute an Innovative Project.

Food projects:
VALORA-0
VALORA-0 is focused on the valorization of waste currents of CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP.
CARNIVAL
CARNIVAL aims to generate new scientific and technological knowledge to create added value for waste and by-products from the meat sector, particularly in the sheep and pig sectors.
Study of the use of alternative protein sources from agro-industrial by-products.
Increase the extractability of protein sources and other compounds of nutritional interest, naturally present in by-products generated in the transformation processes of the food industry, through the use of “green technologies” of pre-treatment such as extrusion
GARNOVA
GARNOVA born as a response to gorwing cosumer demand for healthier snacks. Sugggests the development of a new range of innovative snacks, elaborated as of healthy, functional and with high content in essential macro and micronutrients.
CARNIQUS
CARNIQUS aims to respond to the current needs of the meat sector in terms of meticulous control of those parameters directly involved in the deterioration of its products.
NOVACARNI
NOVACARNI project aims to contribute to the production of a new meat food with a lower environmental impact, in order to promote the production of healthier and more environmentally friendly food.
MITIGACRYL
MITIGACRYL has as objective develop a quick and precise analytic method for the determination at the production line of the acrylamide levels through mid-near infrared technologies.
MEATING PLANTS
Explore new vegetable protein sources, mainly native legume species from Castilla y León region which, together with the inclusion of agri-food by-products and by means of using technologies such extrusion cooking and texturization, allow the generation of innovative and alternative-to-meat products with nutritional, functional and imporved organoleptic characteristics.
IN-PACT
IN-PACT will study the sustainable innovation and innovative practices among the agri-food supply chain in the european union, to respond to how we are in the transition trend towards a more sustainable food system.
FUSILLI
FUSILLI project focuses on supporting cities to facilitate their transition towards more sustainable food systems, in line with Food2030 priorities. Combines the expertise of 34 partners from 13 countries including cities, universities, SMEs, NGOs and industries.
COLOR
The “COLOR” project is a collaborative business initiative aimed at providing solutions to one of the most important needs of the food sector today: the reduction of acrylamide in industrially processed foods.
NUTRIBER
Application of new technologies on the development of a nutritionally improved iberian bacon. Reducing the sodium content in the formulation and limiting nitrites/nitrates.
INBEC
INBEC Project try to promote and develop a sustainable economy through innovation and business cooperation. To this end, it is proposed to use a methodology that maximizes the potential of the Bioeconomy.
ALTERNFEED
ALTERNFEED aims to obtain sustainable alternatives to the use of fishmeal and fish oil or Krill in the manufacture of aquaculture feed giving added value to several alternative ingredients at the same time, in order to take advantage of the characteristics of each and its synergies.
GO INSECT
GO_INSECT investigate the possibilities of insects as a source of alternative and sustainable protein for food and identify the necessary requirements that ensure the technical-economic viability of projects related to industrial breeding of insects
PRIMICIA
The progress of studies in this area, will allow to specify diets based on the specific requirements of each person and will allow to determine a personalized nutrition for populations with common characteristics, particular groups and individuals
PROALI
The PROALI Project develop the application of new technologies for food development, searching for opportunities in new matrices that can be used for the formulation of flours aimed at groups of young people, focusing on gluten-free raw materials.
CRUCAMI
The CRUCAMI project develops and formulates new snacks and meat products cooked from beef jerky.
The objective is the launch of new snacks and cooked meat products pastrami type from cecina.
CIEN PROGRESO
The CIEN PROGRESO Project develop innovative solutions for protein processing and its application in new food products adapted to population groups with specific needs.
INNOLIVO
INNOLIVO uses new technologies and processes for the development of innovative olivar products intended for new international markets of high added value
CAMPOFRÍO
The CAMPOFRÍO project studies and develops a process for reducing salt content in cured ham. Development of a salt content evaluation system in sliced cured ham with on-line NIR technology.
DINAMO
The DINAMO project is responsible for the development and validation of nanocapsule and nanostructure production technologies of active molecules with functional properties for food use.
