Compared to the direct consumption of plant-based foods, the consumption of animal products consumes many times more resources and thus represents an increased burden on the climate. Awareness of this is growing in society, which is also reflected in the increasing demand for organic meat substitutes. Due to their high ecological and health value, organic legumes from domestic cultivation play a central role in this context, with pea and field bean in particular being considered very suitable raw materials.
By establishing value chains from the field to large-scale catering and gastronomy, sales channels can be promoted to increase an expansion of cultivated areas for organic legumes. The development of a "patty" made from domestic organic peas and organic field beans that uses as few additives as possible will contribute to this.
