Westford, USA, Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global baby food market is growing at a rapid pace, with demand is expected to exceed $99.75 billion by 2028. According to the market research firm SkyQuest Technology, the demand for baby food has been driven by an increasing number of parents who are seeking high-quality and nutritious foods for their children. One of the key reasons behind this growth is the widespread adoption of breastfeeding by mothers. Breastfeeding provides babies with essential nutrients and antibodies that help promote healthy development. As a result, more parents are looking to introduce complementary foods into their children's diets in order to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need.

The baby food is made up of a number of different segments, including infant formula, wet and dry cereals, soups and broths, fruits and vegetables, meats/fish/poultry/eggs, and sweeteners. Each segment has its own unique features and opportunities that should be taken into account when planning marketing campaigns.

Some of the key players in the baby food market include Danone Group (France), Alexza Group (US), Nestle SA (Switzerland), General Mills, Inc. (US) and Bunge Ltd. (Norway). These companies are primarily focused on expanding their product offerings across different regions, which, in turn, is benefiting from rising consumer demand for quality food products for infants. Industry leaders are also targeting new segments such as high-value protein foods and purees, infant cereals, beans and legumes, fortified fluids and toddler snacks.

Further growth of the global baby food market will be attributed to growing population across developed countries and emerging economies, as well as increasing investments by major investors into the infant nutrition category. These factors will provide lucrative opportunities for industry participants to tap into new markets and offer innovative products that can meet the needs of consumers across various geographies.

Demand for Organic and Gluten Free Baby Food is Gaining Demand in Global Baby Food Market

According to SkyQuest's poll of 1,600 parents, baby food manufacturers are expected to see increased demand for organic and gluten free products over the next three years. Here are some key findings from the survey: 71% of surveyed parents said they prefer organic foods for their children, and 61% said they would like to see more gluten-free options on store shelves. The top reasons cited for choosing organic foods for their children in the global baby food market include environmental and health concerns (50%), safety concerns (44%), and preferences of the parents (40%). The main reasons cited for preferring gluten-free diets were health concerns (49%) and safety concerns (36%). In terms of where baby food is sourced from, the leading countries in terms of baby food production were China (21%), the United States (14%), France (13%), Canada (10%) and Japan (9%).

Interestingly, 40% of parents said that taste is a key consideration when purchasing baby food, while only 29% cited cost as a factor. Interestingly, health concerns have gradually become a bigger consideration for parents over time; 46% those who have purchased baby food in the past 12 months say that health concerns played a role in their decision, up from 32% in 2018.

While affordability is still an important factor for many parents in the baby food market, we're seeing more and more Toddlers and Preschoolers wanting healthier options. This trend is likely to continue as more people begin looking into which foods are most beneficial for their children's development.

Formula Milk Generates Over $55 Billion Revenue in Global Baby Food Market

There is no denying that formula milk is gaining popularity. Manufacturers are constantly coming up with new formulas and variations of the old favorites, and mothers are listening. In recent years, there has been a surge in popularity for vegan formula milk. Not only does this type of milk provide nutrients that a baby requires, but it also eliminates the need for dairy products, which can be inflammatory for some babies. Additionally, many parents are opting to give their babies vegan or all-natural formula milk, in order to avoid harmful chemicals and hormones found in conventional milk. While more and more moms are choosing to feed their babies homemade or all-natural formula, some health experts still recommend that breastfeeding be the best option for infants. However, most of the moms that cannot breastfeeding in the global baby food market due to undesirable due to lifestyle choices or medical reasons are found to be key consumers of the product.

However, the World Health Organization has released a report revealing the extent to which formula milk is being marketed as a cheap and easily accessible solution for mothers, but is in fact exploitative. According to the report, almost two-thirds of mothers in developing countries who use formula milk receive it free or at a reduced price from social programs or their own families. However, because these products in the baby food market are often not labeled correctly and because they are available at such low prices, many mothers end up overusing them, leading to health problems such as overweight and malnutrition.

Clean Label Baby Products Has Become Paramount Importance to Parent

Baby food has traditionally been marketed using terms such as 'natural' and 'organic', but recent changes in legislation mean that labels must now list all ingredients, including any additives or preservatives. This has created a demand for more accurate and transparent labeling, which is being met by a range of manufacturers who are starting to adopt clean label practices.

According to SkyQuest, there has been a significant increase in demand for clean label baby food products over the past year in the global baby food market. In fact, 43% of parents in 2021 said they are extremely or very important when purchasing baby food, up from 31% in 2017. Part of the reason for this increase is that parents are becoming more aware of the importance of clean labeling. In fact, 66% of parents said they always read labels when shopping for baby food, up from 50% in 2017. Additionally, 56% of parents said they would never buy a product if it did not have a clean label, up from 41% in 2017.

This increased demand for clean label products is likely due to two reasons. First, many people believe that it is important to give their children healthy and sustainable food options. Second, many parents are concerned about the ingredients used in baby food products and want to ensure that their child is eating something that is safe and healthy.

The rising health concerns and increasing obesity levels in human society have led consumers to cut back on animal protein consumption and switch to plant-based proteins as an alternative. Soy protein is a versatile protein supplement and contains well-balanced amino acids, making it comparable to animal protein. It also contains health-promoting compounds like isoflavones.

The growth of this market is backed by the increasing awareness about the benefits of protein-rich diets, the rising demand for protein-rich food products, the rising health & wellness trends, the increasing demand for meat alternatives, the rising demand from the food & beverage industry, and advancements in ingredient technologies, such as microencapsulation. Moreover, an increasing inclination toward vegan diets and emerging economies in the Middle East & Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin Americaprovide significant growth opportunities for the players operating in this market.

However, the significant preference for animal-based protein, fluctuating raw material prices, and high demand for soy-free products obstruct the growth of this market to some extent.

Rising Demand from the Food & Beverage Industry is Expected to Drive the Growth of the Soy Protein Market

Proteins are used in the food industry for both nutritional and functional reasons. The human requirement for proteins can be met by consuming plant-based proteins. Increasing health awareness has resulted in global health and fitness trends in recent years. This has boosted the demand for healthy food products, especially low-calorie, nutritious, and weight-control products.

Speak to our Analysts to Understand the Impact of COVID-19 on Your Business:https://www.meticulousresearch.com/speak-to-analyst/cp_id=5053

The increasing demand for functional food is driven by the increasing prevalence of diseases, health awareness, nutritional requirements, and consumers' willingness to experiment with new products. As a result, the number of food products containing nutritional ingredients has grown significantly in recent years. These global consumer trends have increased the demand for functional food ingredients like soy protein.

Protein is a key ingredient in enhancing the nutritional content of food and improving functionality. A protein's most important functional properties are its water solubility, water & fat binding capacity, gel-forming & rheological behaviors, and emulsifying & foaming capability.

Soy protein is used in food applications because it can form gels, absorb juices during cooking, and have whipping and binding properties. Soy proteins are natural ingredients that are rich in protein and provide an appealing sensory aspect of food, shelf life, and stability in many food applications.

Soy protein is used in the manufacturing of weaning foods, porridge & gruel, cookies, crackers, muffins, bread, cereals, cakes, doughnuts, pasta, dry mixes, tortillas, nan & flatbreads, soups & sauces, ground meat, ground meat for patties, sausages, meatloaves, vegetarian foods, stews & soups, a variety of meat systems, baked goods, and specialty items.

Thus, the functional & nutritional properties and the applications of soy protein in a wide range of food products drive its demand in the food & beverage industry.

To provide efficient analysis, Meticulous Research has segmented this market based on type (soy protein concentrates, soy protein isolates, textured soy proteins, and soy flour, grits, & chunks), crop type (genetically modified organism crops and non-genetically modified organism crops), source process (conventional soy protein ingredients and organic soy protein ingredients), form (solid and liquid), application (food & beverages {meat, poultry, and seafood, bakery & confectionery, meat analogues, dairy & dairy alternatives, beverages, and other food & beverage applications}, animal feed, nutrition & health supplements, and other applications), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).

Based on type, in 2022, the soy protein concentratessegment is expected to account for the largest share of the soy protein market. However, the soy protein isolate segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is attributed to the high demand for soy protein isolates from food & beverage manufacturers due to their nutritional and functional properties, including high protein content, neutral taste, and high viscosity.

Based on crop type, in 2022, the genetically modified organism crops segment is expected to account for the largest share of the soy protein market. However, the non-genetically modified organism crops segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising trend of consuming non-GMO food products, the rising demand for eco-friendly, natural, and organic food products, and stringent regulations for genetically modified crops in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Based on source process, in 2022, the conventional soy protein ingredients segment is expected to account for the largest share of the soy protein market. This segment's large market share is mainly attributed to the wide availability of crops grown through the traditional harvesting method (with the use of chemical fertilizers), easy accessibility to cost-effective conventional soy protein ingredients, the longer shelf life of conventional soy proteins, and wide availability of substantial crop varieties. However, the organic soy protein ingredients segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the increasing demand for preservatives and additive-free products. In addition, the increasing trend of clean-label products, which are natural with fewer chemicals and additives, due to consumers' preferences is also driving the growth of this segment.

Based on form, in 2022, the solidsegment is expected to account for the largest share of the soy protein market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for powder soy protein, ease of handling and transport, lower costs, lower chances of formulation errors, and their capability to maintain ingredient stability. Moreover, this segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on application, in 2022, the food & beverages segment is expected to account for the largest share of the soy protein market. However, the nutrition & health supplements segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the changing lifestyles, growing health & wellness trends, and increasing prevalence of diseases.

Based on geography, the protein market in North America is developing and expanding at a significant pace. The large share of this region is primarily attributed to the well-established food & beverage industry, the rising concerns about the negative effects of animal-derived products and protein, the increasing vegan population, the growing preference for plant-based food products, the increasing demand for healthy & nutritional products, the rising health & wellness trends, and the growing consumer awareness about the health benefits of consuming soy protein.

However, Asia-Pacific is slated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this region is mainly attributed to the large vegetarian population, the growing awareness about the importance of consuming protein-rich diets, technological advancements in the food & beverage industry, and the wide availability of raw materials.

China is expected to dominate the Asia-Pacific market through 2029 as it is the world's biggest food & beverage and animal feed consumer. The substantial change in the consumption pattern within the country has led to increasing demand for soy protein.

The key players operating in the soy proteinmarket are Archer Daniels Midland Company (U.S.), Cargill, Incorporated (U.S.), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (U.S.), NOW Health Group, Inc. (U.S.), Burcon NutraScience Corporation (Canada), Sotexpro (France), Farbest Brands (U.S.), Wilmar International Limited (Singapore), CHS Inc. (U.S.), and Devansoy Inc.

As a vegan and sustainable food advocate, growing my own organic produce had always been something I wanted to do. I never thought it was possible right here in Hong Kong, a city famous for its skyscrapers, bright lights and bustling traffic. But it is. Heres what I learned during my urban farming journey.

I made endless excuses to not fulfil my farm-to-table dream. Despite writing about slow food pioneers like Alice Waters and the dedicated social entrepreneurs behind urban farming concept The Farmers in Singapore, I somehow convinced myself it was a task too difficult in Hong Kong. It would be far away from the city centre, I thought.

I was proven wrong. Hysan, a mall in the heart of Causeway Bay, runs a rooftop urban farming initiative. Yes, dozens of mini-farming plots right on top of a mall. The program is open to the public, and successful applicants will learn the basics of organic farming over the course of 13 weeks. By the end of it, youll be able to harvest your own seasonal produce.

Another excuse I made for myself was that urban farming would take up too much of my free time. False. Its a weekly commitment, yes, but it only took up an hour or two of my Saturday mornings.

At first, I thought the whole point of urban farming was getting the goods, so to speak. The day when Id get to harvest my own beautiful kale or Swiss chard, especially after the grueling first week of weeding, hoeing and ploughing. That wasnt easy, my back was a little achy and my muscles were definitely left tired. I wanted to be rewarded for my hard work.

But as the weeks went on after sowing our initial seeds, I became immersed in the process of tending to my seedlings. I not only looked forward to seeing how my plants would grow, but found the routine of watering, trimming, weeding, and loosening the soil enjoyable.

That being said, I was just responsible for my own little plot of farmland on a rooftopand it wasnt all sunshine and roses. It was frustrating when some of the seeds I sowed never sprouted, or when some of my baby lettuces were blown away thanks to the typhoon one week. In addition, manually hoeing and shoveling is way harder than it looks. It made me imagine having to work in a much larger field for commercial agriculture. I gained a new sense of appreciation for farmers who, despite keeping our global food system alive, are often vulnerable to workplace exploitation and are typically paid extremely low wages for their labour.Realizing the work it takes to get those ingredients onto your plate also makes you respect food itself and become much more mindful of food waste.

Read: 13 ways you can reduce your food waste footprint

Saturday mornings became the snippet of my week when I felt most at peace. It was almost like a refuge after a busy week. Youd think that being in Causeway BayHong Kongs shopping havenwould be anything but relaxing. But its quiet up there. You can hear little rustling sounds coming from grasshoppers trying to nibble your Pak Choi leaves. Shooing the jumpy insects away while trimming my coral leaf lettuce and watering my cherry radishes gave me the same sense of calm that a countryside hike would. Urban farming became my nature therapy.

Organic farming means no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers that wreak havoc on soil health. Instead, we rely on natural methods such as growing shallot bulbs around the plot and spraying our plants with garlic water to repel bugs. Its not foolproof, which inevitably means that soil insects like wireworms and herbivore grasshoppers will chew through stems and leaves. My Pak Choi and daikon radish greens bore the brunt of the damage, with many leaves punctured with tiny holes. While they look a little misshapen and imperfect, I promise they taste better than the commercially grown veggies available on supermarket shelves. My cherry radishes were mildly peppery and crisp, and my butterhead lettuce tasted sweeter than I imagined. Plus, knowing my veggies could be a potential climate solution made them that much more delicious.

After spending a few weeks at the urban farm, I realised this was going to be my new addiction, even for a big-city person. I came to enjoy getting my hands dirty and my shoes muddy every Saturday. Theres something so satisfying about planting, tending and finally eating your own fresh harvest. As the weather begins to cool down in the weeks ahead, Ill be able to harvest and enjoy my daikon radishand Im already thinking about what to plant next in time for Spring.

Growing Interest of Cosmetic and Skincare Manufacturers in Pomegranate Market

Cosmetic and skincare manufacturers have been growing increasingly interested in pomegranate as a natural ingredient for skin care products. Pomegranate is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins C and E, and other essential nutrients that can improve the look and feel of skin. Sunscreen manufacturers in the global pomegranate market are also interested in using pomegranate juice because it provides protection against UV damage without causing any irritation or excessive dryness. Pomegranate juice contains compounds called polyphenols which absorb UV radiation energy and turn it into heat instead of harmful light rays.

One reason why cosmetic and skincare manufacturers are interested in using pomegranate juice is due to its antioxidant properties. These properties help protect skin from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals can cause wrinkles and age spots, so using a product that contains antioxidants is essential for keeping skin looking young and healthy. In addition, the lactic acid in pomegranate juice can help to tighten the skin and diminish the appearance of cellulite.

Apart from this, pomegranate juice is increasingly being used cosmetics because it helps improve the appearance of acne scars in the pomegranate market. The fruit contains antioxidants that can help diminish the appearance of redness and inflammation associated with acne scars. In addition, pomegranate juice can help reduce the amount of oil produced by skin cells. This helps keep pores clean and reduces the risk of acne scarring returning.

Organic Pomegranate are High In Demand

According to SkyQuest study, global demand for organic pomegranates market (OPG) will grow at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2022 and 2028. This is driven by rising awareness of the health benefits of consuming organic foods, as well as the perception that organically grown foods are more sustainable.

As the awareness of these benefits grows, OPG sales will continue to increase in developed pomegranate market such as the United States and Western Europe, while emerging markets such as China and India will account for a greater share of total demand. The top five regions where OPG will see the greatest growth are: Latin America (9%), Asia Pacific excluding Japan (8%), Eastern Europe (7%), Middle East & Africa (6%) and Central & Eastern Europe (5%).

One of the reasons that organic food is in high demand is that it contains fewer environmental toxins. This is especially important to people who care about their health and want to eat wholesome and nutritious foods. Additionally, organic food often costs less than conventional food and has greater nutritional value.

In terms of geographic regions, North America is expected to lead the way in terms of growth for the organic pomegranate market. This is due to increasing concern about GMO ingredients and concerns about ruining farmland with synthetic fertilizers. Europe also stands to gain from increased interest in organic foods as well as an increase in eco-conscious consumers. Asia Pacific is forecast to see significant growth over the next few years as well due to burgeoning economies that are looking for more sustainable alternatives.

During a recent session at the U.N. Climate Change Conference, food waste advocates identified solutions including education, technology, and investment to reduce food loss and waste. The conversations were organized by Food Tank in partnership with the Food4Climate Pavilion.

As we are in this moment where were trying to avert a climate crisis that is upon us and thinking about how we build more equitable and inclusive food systems, we should also be thinking about how we build in opportunities for circular economies. says Lisa Moon, President & CEO of The Global FoodBanking Network.

More than one third of food produced globally goes uneaten, according to WWF, and if food were a country, it would be the third largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions.

Tackling food loss and waste is low hanging fruit, says Bobby Chinn, a celebrity Chef, restaurateur, and television personality.

Chinn believes its possible to address the issue in a more accelerated manner than many of the other crises on the table at COP27. But with waste occurring all along the supply chain, from farms and markets to retail stores and kitchens, the panelists pointed to multiple interventions necessary to address it.

Speakers argue the public sector must step up.

The majority of governments have no incentives, and in many ways disincentivize food donations, Moon argues. Often, food businesses worry that they will be held accountable if they donate food that makes somebody ill, leading them to toss surplus stock. Moon wants to see more governments implement liability protections to encourage donations, keeping food out of landfills and redirecting it to those in need. Tax incentives can help encourage change as well, she says.

Food waste also belongs in governments Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), speakers argue. These national action plans outline strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to impacts of the climate crisis. but currently, just 21 countries address food loss and waste in their NDCs, says Oliver Camp, Senior Associate for Nature Positive Actions for Healthy Diets at GAIN.

As the world looks to push for changes in the NDCs, however, its important not to neglect the role of local governments, says Dana Omran, Global Director Strategy and Operations for the Resilient Cities Network. She argues that cities have long left decisions around food and agriculture to national governments. But they are the biggest consumers of food. At the same time, cities have huge issues with waste managementCities cant afford to not do something around food.

The Resilient Cities Networks new Urban Eats Campaign is working to help urban areas connect the dots, between issues. They are also sharing innovations and providing technical assistance to design new programs, including those that address organic waste.

But even when programs do exist on the ground, many require resources and capital to grow their impact. Desmond Alugnoa, Co-Founder of Green Africa Youth Organization, explains that in Accra, he has seen projects that are at tipping points and could just be scaled but there arent enough resources.

This is why Sara Farley believes that philanthropic institutions must be willing to embrace risk and support solutions that have the potential to grow. Philanthropy needs to put its neck out, recruit other funders, create unexpected alliances, and really be leaders that can bear some of the risk to smooth the pathway forward for others to step in, she says.

In the private sector Pete Pearson, Global Initiative Lead for Food Circularity at WWF, sees food retailers taking action by setting food waste reduction targets. But it wont matter if there isnt a culture shift taking place among employees in each individual store, he argues. You can put all these goals that you want, you can shine these fancy banners around reduction, but it still comes down to what happens at that local level, and thats the most difficult part.

To see the desired shift in food business operations, information is also essential.

Keith Agoada, CEO of Producers Trust, which convenes farmers and other supply chain stakeholders, regularly hears partners say we need data, we need accurate data at the source, and with that we can do our work.

Information flow is critical between farmers and businesses, agrees Pearson, Global Initiative Lead for Food Circularity at WWF. He also believes that information is going to unlock the profitability that will drive transformation.

The hospitality industry can also benefit from better data. Its really difficult to measure food waste, and most kitchens simply dont know how much theyre wasting, says David Jackson, Director of Marketing and Public Affairs for Winnow. The company, which uses technology to measure and reduce food waste in professional kitchens, finds that between 5-15 percent of food goes to waste in these settings.

Be really clear about setting yourself a target, advises Richard Swannell, Interim CEO of WRAP, and start measuring within your own business.

With food prices on the rise, it is an opportune time to address waste, with many chefs more mindful than ever of what makes it onto plates and what doesnt. As ingredients went up in cost, ingredients became more valuable, so you had to think more creatively about how you use the whole vegetable, how you use all of the elements, the byproducts, says Paul Newnham, Director of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 Advocacy Hub.

This is something chefs have always been trained to do, Newnham continues, but as food became cheaper, waste became more acceptable.

Particularly in the Global North, theres a lack of respect for food, and thats been building in our society, particularly since the late 70s, says Lasse Bruun, CEO of 50by40. Food became not just something you need to have, but something you can have in abundance.

Now chefs are returning to the original mindset, Newnham says, placing more value on their ingredients again and embracing the idea that any bit of food is money.

The speakers also encourage everyone to frame food waste reduction efforts as not just an obligation, but an opportunity. In the kitchen, Food waste is a lack of imagination, Newnham says.

Chefs have the ability and expertise to take what some might view as scraps and turn it into a dish. They are the experts as it relates to making things taste good so we have to turn to them for knowledge and guidance, says Earlene Cruz, Founder and Director of Kitchen Connection.

Cruz, whose organization helps eaters contribute to a better food system, also advocates for better education to engage consumers and help meet them where they are.

Raphael Podselver, Director of UN Affairs for ProVeg International agrees, stating education, personal experience with food is very, very important.

With the many solutions available and economic and environmental benefits to be gained, Megan Moriwaka, Global Director of Sustainability, Iberostar Group says that food loss and waste represent an important opportunity.

And, she adds, if the world cant address it effectively, it doesnt bode well for solving the more complex challenges that are driving the climate crisis. Food waste is one of the very few topics that you can get everyone to say theres a win-win-win if we can solve this.

Market Overview:

Wheat glutenis also known as seitan, wheat meat, gluten meat, or gluten. Wheat gluten is a protein that occurs naturally in wheat or wheat flour. It is made by washing wheat flour dough in water until all of the starch granules are removed. Wheat gluten powder is made by hydrating hard wheat flour to activate the gluten. After that, the hydrated mass is processed to remove starch while leaving gluten behind. Finally, the gluten is dried and ground into powder. Some gluten varieties have a stringy or chewy texture similar to meat.

The rising vegan population and increasing demand for meat alternatives are helping to boost the overall market growth. The rising e-commerce and courier are also attributing to the growth of the market. The major market players are highly focusing on various new protein alternatives. In addition, the rise in consumer preferences towards a high protein-rich diet is also contributing to the rising demand for the market.

Market Dynamics: Wheat Gluten Market

Gluten is a protein found naturally in some grains like wheat, barley and rye. Wheat glutens are made up of Gliadins and Glutenin protein fractions. Gliadins contain a single polypeptide chain associated with hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds and intra-molecular disulfide interactions whereas Glutenins contain inter-molecular disulfide interactions. Wheat gluten and wheat starch are economically important co-products produced during the wet processing of wheat flour. Wheat gluten is a commodityfood ingredientand its applications are predominantly in baked goods and processed meat products. It has unique properties such as, when it is hydrated and mixed, it forms a very extensible, elastic structure that is responsible for the gas-holding ability of bread dough. It can be used in combination with wheat flour and other additives to produce a soy-free texturized product.

The vegan population is increasing worldwide and the demand for meat alternatives is also increasing. People are more aware of the health benefits of plant-based proteins and getting shifted to vegan lifestyles where wheat gluten can act as a meat alternative for them.

Most consumers prefer high-protein-rich diets due to several reasons. A few of them are: protein is the building block of the human body and muscles; it is vital for body and brain activities; it is important for healthy and active living. Gluten is one of the high protein-rich diets which can be extracted from wheat. Gluten has high protein content along with vitamins & minerals such as antioxidants, fiber, vitamin B, vitamin E, magnesium, iron, folic acid and others.

Furthermore, in recent years, high protein diets and products have made a real impression on nutrition and reshaped consumers' attitudes towards protein in their food intake as adequate nutrition is an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle for all individuals. Various studies have shown the health benefits of plant based proteins and public awareness has increased to a greater extent. As a result, consumers are preferring high protein-rich diets.

The demand for high protein-rich diets is increasing among people and hence, the number of research has increased to find out proteins. As animal-based proteins are causing most health hazards, people are getting shifted to vegan lifestyles gradually, across the globe. Plant-based proteins are rich in vitamins as well as minerals and have great health benefits as per recent studies. Wheat gluten is one of the plant proteins which is used as a meat alternative and a protein-rich diet by most people worldwide.

Wheat Gluten Market to Exhibit a Noteworthy Growth of 3,209.50 Million with Growing CAGR of 7.5% by 2029, Size, Share, Growth, Demand, Drivers and...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22, 2022 --- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced details of the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) $300 million investment, including with American Rescue Plan funds, in a new Organic Transition Initiative that will help build new and better markets and streams of income for farmers and producers. Organic production allows producers to hold a unique position in the marketplace and thus take home a greater share of the food dollar.

According to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, the number of non-certified organic farms actively transitioning to organic production dropped by nearly 71 percent since 2008. Through the comprehensive support provided by this initiative USDA hopes to reverse this trend, opening opportunities for new and beginning farmers and expanding direct consumer access to organic foods through increased production.

The initiative will deliver wrap-around technical assistance, including farmer-to-farmer mentoring; provide direct support through conservation financial assistance and additional crop insurance assistance, and support market development projects in targeted markets.

Farmers face challenging technical, cultural, and market shifts while transitioning to organic production, and even during the first years after successful organic certification, said Vilsack. Through this multi-phased, multi-agency initiative, we are expanding USDAs support of organic farmers to help them with every step of their transition as they work to become certified and secure markets for their products.

USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Risk Management Agency (RMA) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are the primary agencies supporting the Initiative, which will focus on three areas.

Transition to Organic Partnership Program

Through this initiative, USDA aims to ensure that farmers transitioning to organic have the support they need to navigate that transition, including a full supply chain to American consumers who demand organic choices in their supermarkets daily. AMS will build partnership networks in six regions across the United States with trusted local organizations serving direct farmer training, education, and outreach activities. The organizations will connect transitioning farmers with mentors, building paid mentoring networks to share practical insights and advice. Each regional team will also provide community building, including train-the-mentor support; as well as technical assistance, workshops, and field days covering topics including organic production practices, certification, conservation planning, business development (including navigating the supply chain), regulations, and marketing to help transitioning and recently transitioned producers overcome technical, cultural, and financial shifts during and immediately following certification. USDA will provide up to $100 million for this program.

Direct Farmer Assistance

NRCS will develop a new Organic Management conservation practice standard and offer financial and technical assistance to producers who implement the practice. Payments will be modeled on those already available to producers meeting the existing nutrient and pest management conservation practice standards. USDA will provide $75 million for this effort. This will include an increase in organic expertise throughout its regions, creating organic experts at each of its regional technology support centers. These experts will train staff who provide direct services to USDA customers. These services include hosting hands-on organic training for state and field NRCS staff and fielding organic-related staff questions.

USDA will provide $25 million to RMA for the new Transitional and Organic Grower Assistance Program (TOGA) which will support transitioning and certain certified organic producers participation in crop insurance, including coverage of a portion of their insurance premium.

Organic Pinpointed Market Development Support

Stakeholders have shared that specific organic markets have market development risks due to inadequate organic processing capacity and infrastructure, a lack of certainty about market access, and insufficient supply of certain organic ingredients. This AMS initiative will focus on key organic markets where the need for domestic supply is high, or where additional processing and distribution capacity is needed for more robust organic supply chains. Examples of markets seeking support include organic grain and feed; legumes and other edible rotational crops; and livestock and dairy. USDA will invest up to $100 million to help improve organic supply chains in pinpointed markets. The Department will seek stakeholder input on these pinpointed initiatives beginning in September, resulting in an announcement of specific policy initiatives later this year.

Other USDA Organic Assistance

This USDA initiative complements existing assistance for organic producers, including FSAs Organic Certification Cost Share Program (OCCSP) and Organic and Transitional Education and Certification Program (OTECP). OCCSP helps producers obtain or renew their organic certification, and OTECP provides additional funding to certified and transitioning producers during the pandemic.

NRCS offers conservation programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), which can provide assistance to help with managing weeds and pests, and establishing high tunnels, improving soil health, and implementing other practices key to organic operations. RMA also administers federal crop insurance options available to organic producers, including Whole Farm Revenue Protection and Micro Farm.

The National Organic Program (NOP) is a federal regulatory program, administered by AMS, that develops and enforces consistent national standards for organically produced agricultural products sold in the United States.

USDA touches the lives of all Americans each day in so many positive ways. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is transforming Americas food system with a greater focus on more resilient local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers, ensuring access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food in all communities, building new markets and streams of income for farmers and producers using climate-smart food and forestry practices, making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America, and committing to equity across the Department by removing systemic barriers and building a workforce more representative of America.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI Whole Foods Market, a natural and organic foods grocery store chain, opened its first West Michigan store last week at 2897 Radcliff Ave. SE. in Kentwood.

I will be here probably every week, maybe a little more often now that I see theres a whole kitchen, said Michelle Taveras, of Grand Rapids, who attended the Aug. 17 grand opening with her husband, Ruben.

The 45,400-square-foot store has more than 200 products from Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin, plus full-service meat and seafood counters, artisan cheeses, fresh-baked bread, food and salad bars, and a full-service coffee bar.

Taveras picked up salads, pastas, empanadas and veggies from the hot bar.

The new store, open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, is located just off 28th Street SE near Woodland Mall, was packed on Wednesday. The Austin, Texas-based chain is owned by Amazon and the Kentwood location is the eighth Whole Foods Market in Michigan. Other locations are in East Lansing, Ann Arbor, and metro Detroit.

I think a lot of people, especially in Grand Rapids, are realizing the importance of locally-sourced and better quality food, said Sydnee Ruger, of Wayland, who was at the store with her husband and two sons.
