Proponents for improved human nutrition and a better environment advocate that humans eat more plant proteins and less animal meats. An entire industry is being built to make analog meats from plant protein sources. Yet Mother Nature has already packaged together plant sources with high levels of protein, plus healthy fats like monounsaturated ad polyunsaturated fats. Moreover, production and consumption of these natural plant protein sources have been growing rapidly. The sale of almonds and pistachios has been growing at better than 4.5 percent per year. Walnuts, of which China is the world’s largest producer, have been expanding at a 4 percent annual rate. While peanuts (aka groundnuts) are a grain legume and an oilseed, it...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
