About 3PUKSEA
The 3PUKSEA project strengthens UK-SE Asia collaboration to develop sustainable plant proteins by upcycling rice production side-streams. It establishes a multidisciplinary innovation network to assess market viability and advance climate-smart technologies through industry-academia partnerships. This initiative drives affordable protein solutions to enhance regional food security and socio-economic resilience.
Project Impact
The 3PUKSEA network drives UK-SE Asia innovation in sustainable rice proteins to enhance food safety and the circular economy. By empowering researchers and leveraging industry partnerships, the project boosts smallholder livelihoods and delivers climate-smart productivity. This initiative transforms regional food systems into resilient, low-carbon value chains while de-risking future investments in the region
People
The 3PUKSEA network unites leading scientists from HUST, VNU and the University of Greenwich with a dynamic group of multidisciplinary experts and industrial partners across the UK and Southeast Asia. This highly creative team leverages strong research potential to drive climate-smart innovations and sustainable protein value chains. By fostering inclusive collaborations, we empower researchers to transform regional food systems and deliver resilient, high-impact solutions.
UK-South East Asia partnership driving innovation in the plant protein sector. By upcycling rice production side-streams, the network develops sustainable and affordable food alternatives for the region. This collaboration delivers climate-smart technologies to accelerate a global transition toward resilient food systems. The 3PUKSEA project (NSGR1S2\1010) within the Network Strengthening Grants Scheme is funded by the Academy of Medical Sciences.
