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.

#ProteinDay, in its fifth-year calls stakeholders to boost awareness on the vital role of protein in nutrition security and enhance accessibility to protein-rich foods as health solutions for citizens

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 proteins 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 the government is making strides with initiatives such as Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 schemes, we need to work towards making people more aware of nutrition, especially the need to consume adequate protein in daily diets. Protein as a macronutrient is a solution to overcome many health challenges, build resilience, and contribute to the well-being of our communities. #SolveWithProtein will help bring together doctors, nutritionists, health and fitness influencers, among others and raise awareness of protein as a solution to better health,” said Shona Prabhu, sports nutritionist and supporter of the Right To Protein initiative.

As we anticipate a nearly ten-fold surge in its economy and per-capita GDP over the next 25 years, fostering a healthy and highly skilled workforce becomes an imperative. To achieve this goal, it is crucial to prioritize nutrition awareness, dispel myths, alter perceptions, and instigate behavior change. Simultaneously, ensuring readily available solutions, with a key emphasis on protein, is essential in promoting optimal health and overall well-being. This Protein Day, I urge key stakeholders in the industry to take our responsibility seriously and join the nutrition movement to ‘Solve With Protein’,” added Sivaram Briyas, Founder and MD of Biryas Foods.
