Welcome letter
Welcome!
On behalf of our Advisory Board, Partners, Speakers, and Exhibitors, we welcome you to Calgary, Alberta, Canada!
Canada is the perfect place to discuss the future of food and the world of plant-based foods & plant protein ingredients. Western Canada is one of the largest plant-protein producing regions in the world, with annual production of more than 60 million metric tonnes of high-protein crops. The innovation power, the abundant high-quality supply of pulses and other protein crops, and the national policy focus on plant proteins, means that Canada is positioned to help ensure the global population has access to healthy food.
The 13th Plant-Based Foods Summit 2019 focus is “Shifting Consumer Behaviour”.
The transition to plant-based protein is in the spotlight as the demand for plant-based food products continues to increase due to several factors, including: a growing global population; a shift in consumer preference to plant-based products for their health and well-being; and as a tool to combat climate change, while also contributing to Global Sustainable Development Goals.
Meeting this global demand will only be accomplished through collaboration – creating partnerships that spans the global value chain - from research through to production, to the creation of an ingredient or product to meet the consumer demands.
This Summit is an example of collaboration. Protein Industries Canada and Bridge2Food are pleased to have partnered to bring the Plant-Protein Ingredient Summit to Saskatoon and the Plant-Based Food Summit to Calgary. We know that there is much potential in the global agriculture value-chain, and we hope you make connections at the Summit that will help your organization capitalize on the growing demand for plant-based ingredients.
Thank you to the sponsors who made this Summit possible. We hope you take advantage of the opportunity to expand your network while also gaining insight into sustainability, business, innovation, and research.
We wish you a lot of success and joy!
Bill Greuel Gerard Klein Essink CEO, Protein Industries Canada Founder & CEO Bridge2Food

Is this a relevant trend? What does Generation X think about plant based or vegan? How to communicate? How will Canada’s New Food Guide influence consumers? What will drive consumers to buy more plant based foods?
Retail & Food Service
