Webinar: How can New Zealand farmers, growers and innovators join the 'race' to find the next scalable, sustainable source of protein?
When and where
Global demand for high quality protein from a diverse range of sources is growing as awareness is rising regarding the role protein plays in a healthy balanced diet. However, protein production will become more difficult with increasing extreme weather events impacting growing conditions, sustainability demands of consumers concerned with GHG emissions and population growth. The race to find the next scalable, sustainable source of protein is on.
New Zealand is not yet engaged in this race. While it is at the forefront of high quality protein from grass fed meat and milk, we have taken a back seat in the emerging protein race. The webinar will explore how New Zealand can compete and create long term value in the emerging protein sector as a complimentary source of added value and the role that farmers, growers and innovators can play.
