Latest findings

The Dutch consumer looking to save money is better off filling their shopping basket with plant-based rather than animal based products. Two years ago, a plant-based shopping basket was still more expensive than a basket filled with comparable animal food products. Now the consumer can save up to 20% by replacing animal with plant-based products.
