The future of food in New Zealand

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 17 June 2019

Food is one of the essentials for life but our choices now are overwhelming. 

With the global population set to reach 10 billion people, food producers around the world now have to figure out how to make these choices sustainable for the future. 

Mike Lee is food strategist from the US, co-founder of Alpha Food labs. His job is to help producers understand what the future of food is and how they get there. He's in the country to speak to AgResearch scientists and tells us more about his work.
