Kiemkracht de innovatie-alliantie van Productschap Akkerbouw en Innovatienetwerk van het Ministerie van Economische Zaken (Landbouw) heeft samen met ondernemers Jaap Korteweg en Niko Koffeman de Vegetarische Slager opgericht met behulp van de conceptuation methode. De Vegetarische Slager is een transitie proces voor het stimuleren van consumptie van plantaardige eiwitten waaronder lupine. Europees geteelde lupine is een duurzaam alternatief voor vlees maar ook voor EU geïmporteerde soja.
The LIBBIO project is about researching the potential of Andes Lupin for breeding cropping and biorefinery. 14 partners from 8 different EU countries cooperate together. Hanze University of Applied Sciences is technical-scientific coordinator of this 5 mio€ project. Project duration is from 2016 to 2020
In the BBI-JU project LIBBIO, institutions across Europe researched the ideal growing circumstances for the Andean Lupin in Europe. The Andean Lupin can be grown across the continent. Continued research improved the crop’s yield and resistance to disease. Learn more about how this can be achieved in this video.

This project has received funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 720726LIBBIO is a European research project on Andes Lupin (Lupinus mutabilis, tarwi) cropping in marginal lands for enhanced bio economy. Lupin has the ability to fix nitrogen, mobilise soil phosphate and has low nutritional requirements for cultivation. Varieties will be chosen that give high yield of green silage or high yield of seeds which contain more than 20% oil, more than 40% protein and the remaining materials are carbohydrates, mainly oligosaccharides characterized as “prebiotics”. Andes lupin will be grown as a summer crop in N-central Europe and as winter crop in Mediterranean conditions. Pre-industrial processing is developed and optimized for the lupin, properties of the different fractions analysed, their advantage for different industrial use evaluated, and a few products developed as an example. Social and environmental impact will be evaluated as well as techno-economic viability and effect on farm and biorefinery income.This project has received funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 720726
