The training aims to We would like to enhance the safety culture. To this end, one should step out of the interdependence sphere and into that of independence: this means that each person must actively ensure their own safety, but also be capable of ensuring that of others. Since the course was launched in 2016, over by the end of 2017.

Pea protein, a healthy and sustainable alternative In 2050, we will be nine billion people on Earth. The ability to feed the population while preserving food security, each person’s health and our planet’s resources is a major challenge. Pea proteins can help address this challenge. Drawn from yellow peas, pea protein is an excellent source of vegetable proteins for all, on a daily basis. It offers multiple nutritional and functional properties. Not included in the list of major allergens (EU), with a glutenand lactose-free profile and offering excellent digestibility, pea protein is complementary to animal proteins and an alternative to soy, as well as a significant source of essential amino acids. We have thus developed NUTRALYS® yellow pea protein, which offers clinically proven benefits for muscle mass development, satiety and calorie intake. Anyone can include this healthy ingredient in their daily diet. GMO-free, yellow pea cultivation presents a number of benefits. It fosters biodiversity, limits irrigation and does not require fertilizers. Yellow pea is ideally cultivated in a crop rotation system as it naturally enriches the soil with nitrogen for the benefit of the next crops. The environmental footprint of pea cultivation is thus particularly low. Pea protein presents many advantages to all stakeholders of the production line, from farmers to consumers.
