‘Right To Protein,’ a dedicated awareness initiative powered by the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), unveils “Solve With Protein” as the theme for Protein Day 2024, to be celebrated on 27 February, marking its fifth year. The initiative calls on individuals, businesses, and industry leaders to unite in addressing the surging demand for protein-rich foods, delivering protein solutions that are accessible to citizens across Pakistan and the larger South Asia region.
The lack of understanding about protein as an essential macronutrient leads to inadequate levels of protein consumption. The Protein Day 2024 theme of “Solve With Protein” urges brands, thought leaders, community and health influencers, media, and citizens to amplify the message on protein’s pivotal role in fostering a healthier and more resilient population. It also aims to drive conversations and highlight solutions for citizens to stay informed of accessible protein food sources that can be included in daily diets and further the efforts to make ‘nutrition security’ a reality.
“While past governments have made some progress with several initiatives, we must collectively strive to increase awareness about nutrition and food security by incorporating adequate levels of protein into our daily diets. Recognizing protein as a fundamental macronutrient offers a pathway to address various health challenges, foster resilience, and contribute to the overall well-being of Pakistan. The #SolveWithProtein theme aims to unite professionals like doctors, nutritionists, health and fitness influencers, and others, fostering awareness about protein as a pivotal solution for improved health,” said Fareeha Talha, CEO, Fartal Pharmaceuticals, Vice President of the World Poultry Science Association, Nominee for HungerCon 2023
