Coen Dekker, Senior Consultant at GfK (The Netherlands) spoke at the 9th Bridge2Food Protein Summit 2016 on an opportunity for brands to communicate on aspirational benefits of proteins rather than just functional. This combination represents growth opportunities. The declining meat consumption is clearly showing that consumers are looking for plant-protein foods. GfK will also speak at the 10th Protein Summit 2017.
