The Farm to Fork strategy includes an ambition for algae to “become an important source of alternative protein for a sustainable food system and global food security”. To support this aim, the European Commission in partnership with experts in algae production are launching a European algae stakeholder platform, called EU4Algae.
The aim of the platform is to accelerate the development of a European algae industry and promote algae for nutrition and other uses among consumers and businesses in the EU. By the end of 2022, the Commission will release an EU Algae initiative accompanied by an Action plan to promote algae in Europe. The EU4Algae platform will draft recommendations to those initiatives and support their implementation.
