We are very sad to let you know that our founding CEO, Dennis McKnight, died Aug. 20. Dennis was a visionary leader and driving force not just for PPAA but for the entire industry. He was a friend to many. Below is a video from an honourary award in Jan. https://t.co/sesURt7MXR

Addressing gaps in toll-processing services needs to be part of an overall value-added strategy for Alberta, says board chair @AAmmeter Here's a link to our study looking at where things are at in the province currently: https://t.co/USaPoIGqBf

Study finds major gap in Alberta’s valued-added strategy: “One of the things we realized very quickly was that, although everybody was focusing on fractionation plants." https://t.co/krOBookIIl

@FaaizaRamji We wish you all the best - so much opportunity out there in plant ingredient processing for you and many others in Alberta

[Plant Protein Alliance of Alberta @PlantProteinAB]

Entrepreneur @FaaizaRamji wants to add value to Alberta crops and came up with the idea of a liqueur using dry peas. “We have more than enough growing here. We just haven’t really thought through everything that we can do with it.”

Plant-based protein: is Alberta depriving itself of a hen that lays golden eggs? If you're not French-speaking, Google Translate can help with this Radio-Canada story on the differences in investments in plant-ingredient processing across the Prairies

'We're rather confused too. We started as we recognized a void in Alberta and said, hey, we can make a difference,' says board chair @AAmmeter. 'We really believe there's a need for this.'

The Government of Alberta should reconsider its decision to defund @PlantProteinAB, writes @WilfKeller. 'PPAA has been incredibly productive in building a network of members and tirelessly promoting the economic benefits of value-added processing'

@NabatiFoods Thank you for your support! Best wishes with your exciting growth and expansion plans

The sad part of shutting down is knowing how many opportunities are out there for the plant-based protein market, says board chair @AAmmeter

It's the value of the work @PlantProteinAB did that makes loss of funding even more painful, says board chair @AAmmeter | https://t.co/Tu7y8Dpy5F https://t.co/6UGng3O3u7

[Plant Protein Alliance of Alberta @PlantProteinAB]

Board chair @AAmmeter talks with @ShayeGanam about the realistic opportunity plant protein offers Alberta to diversify the economy; some of the work we did to connect the ecosystem and network; and our shutdown due to loss of govt funding

Board chair @AAmmeter and Kimmo Lucas, CEO of @TopHealth4ALL, talk with @GlobalEdmonton about economic potential of plant-protein market, mission of @PlantProteinAB and our disappointment in losing government funding that is leading to shutdown

[Global Edmonton @GlobalEdmonton]

The @PlantProteinAB is being forced to shut down after losing a $250,000 provincial grant. The group brought together players in the #plantprotein sector, with hopes of building a multi-billion dollar #plantbased industry here in Alberta. @TomVernonGlobal reports. #yeg #ableg

[Plant Protein Alliance of Alberta @PlantProteinAB]

Board chair @aammeter was 'gobsmacked' when the provincial government reversed its decision on funding
@PlantProteinAB and organization had to shut down
