Tasting the Future: China’s Sustainable Protein Outlook

‘How to feed 1.4 billion people’ is already a big question. And how to do it sustainably?

Answers to these questions are not only crucial for people in China, but also important for New Zealand.  China is our largest trade partner:  Understanding its future sustainable food policy directions, and how this will affect China’s food consumption, production and investment, is essential.

In late 2023 we commissioned Trivium China to prepare a research report on China’s policy and regulatory approaches to sustainable food, with a focus on protein. This podcast is a recording of the report launch webinar on 4 December, including the report author’s summary of key findings and an industry experts discussion, co-hosted with the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence.
