The production and consumption of food in Germany is associated with environmental problems, especially with regard to intensive animal husbandry for food production. Health problems are also associated with the consumption of animal products, such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. From the perspective of a more sustainable diet, a ‘Dietary Shift’ is therefore urgently needed (WBAE 2020). Against this background, the DUH project “Positive Campaign to Strengthen Plant-Based Dietary Environments” aims to contribute to reducing the animal share in the diet to a level that is compatible with humans, animals and the environment (One Health approach). The purpose of the target group analysis is to identify ways to reach different groups for a positive campaign on more plant-based diets, since the willingness to make dietary changes varies greatly depending on age, gender, family situations, and other socioeconomic factors. Therefore, the target group analysis will compile previous findings about the different groups from scientific studies and surveys (A). In addition, the target group analysis includes the development of four personas (fictitious individuals) including short profiles that depict the most important socio-demographic characteristics, consumption preferences as well as accessibility for a positive campaign of the respective personas (B).

Against the background of a growing global demand for proteins and at the same time significant negative impacts of the production of animal products, the focus of the project is on the exploration of alternative protein sources and analogues. The aim is to obtain an overview of current processes, raw materials and products for the provision of alternative proteins and analogues and to investigate, on the basis of a selection, how likely and desirable the diffusion of these alternatives is.
