**8. Conclusion**

Vegetable proteins are more long-lasting and sufficient to meet the demands of a rapidly growing population. Vegetable proteins are more adaptable and can be altered in response to health issues than animal proteins. In this chapter, we focused on vegetable protein because the consumption of protein is increasing as the world's population expands. The population of the globe is anticipated to double by 2063, from 6.5 to 13 billion people. Rapid urbanization and rising protein consumption have exacerbated the problem, leading to an increase in malnutrition among children. As a result, we must meet our protein requirements in order to develop healthy and combat malnutrition. We will underline that everyone's protein requirements, as well as the demands for vegetable and animal proteins, are unique. Animal protein sources are not sustainable as the world's population expands; thus, we cannot meet our protein demands only from them. In this chapter, we reviewed how vegetable protein sources are more stable and sufficient for meeting our protein requirements. Vegetable diets produce more greenhouse emissions than animal meals because they are affected by temperature. The fact that rapid development of animal protein production is expected to create land stress due to the requirement to produce more animal feed exacerbates the problem. As a response, land, lakes, and natural grassland conversion to farming land would rise, posing a threat to greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and other essential natural ecosystems. Vegetable proteins are promoted as more sustainable, disease-adjustable, and cost-effective than animal proteins. We made the switch from animal- to vegetable-based protein. There are various challenges to overcome when it comes to employing vegetable proteins. As a result, we looked at numerous methods for using vegetable protein and its derivatives to meet amino acid deficiencies, including heating, ohmic heating, microwave, radiofrequency, and extrusion, among others.
