Lupin remains underused as a protein crop because farmers, processors, and food brands need better agronomy, processing, ingredients, and market demand.
R&D Focus
Lupin agronomy, dehulling and milling, protein ingredients, plant-based egg and dairy products, bakery mixes, and value-chain development.
Innovative Solution
Lupin Platform coordinates crop, ingredient, processing, and product-development projects to establish lupin as a scalable Canadian and international protein source.
Solution Effectiveness
A 2024 Canadian project has a total investment of about CAD 4.97 million and runs through March 2026; a separate Canada–UK project announced in 2025 added $1.5 million for bilateral R&D.
