Roquette presented on plant proteins at the "Chemistry and Food" symposium on February 12, 2025.
Romain Joly, our Global Director of Alternative Proteins at Roquette, participated in the event organized by the Foundation of the House of Chemistry.
We discussed Roquette's mission and the significant role plant proteins play in the food and nutrition industry.
The event highlighted the importance of food quality in the context of global population growth and climate change.
Food challenges are indeed global, involving both political and scientific aspects. Chemistry is essential in the production, processing, and preservation of food, as well as in the culinary arts.
Mastery of chemical phenomena is crucial to ensure healthy and enjoyable food for a constantly growing population.
We explored the topic of plant proteins and how they are true catalysts of innovation for sustainable food.
Alternative proteins play a key role in the necessary food transition towards healthier, safer, and more sustainable diets.
In a world that will have 9 billion people by 2050, how can we achieve fair food access? How can we ensure self-sufficiency in food while ensuring balanced nutrition for all? How can we improve the sustainability of our agricultural production? How can we optimize the use of our agricultural lands in this context of food transition?
Roquette is committed to contributing to sustainable food and addressing global food challenges.
We have been providing plant-based ingredients for 90 years with more than 40 years of expertise in plant protein.
The land that feeds us is our main source of inspiration, and we strive to offer the best of nature.

People are looking for more nutritious, plant-based food, and food producers should find a way to meet market demand.
Nutritious plant-based food is not sufficient; people also want to prevent health and ecological issues.
