Aotearoa New Zealand is a land of agricultural marvel. On a global scale we punch well above our weight however the world of protein consumption is changing. Emerging proteins is the study of alternative sources or protein products and their development. In a world that is reliant on animal-based proteins that are rapidly becoming unsustainable the future of protein is changing. As a bi-cultural (multicultural) nation how do we progress and ensure that cultural traditions are protected and respected.
