Ett sätt att minska utsläppen är att minska köttkonsumtionen och äta en mer växtbaserad kost. Soja dominerar bland de produkter som idag marknadsförs som alternativ till kött. Soja är dock svårodlat i Sverige, därför behövs alternativ. Rapsprotein är ett exempel. Rapsfrökaka

This growing urban population requires a major shift in the way we produce and distribute food, since industrial agriculture practices contribute to climate change, biodiversity losses, pollution of waterways, soil degradation, etc. Urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry (UPAF) represent one of the strateg
