Future of food – gene genius
April 10, 2024
FoodHQ has been working to develop a series of think pieces that can disrupt some of the conversations that are happening around food, food production, science, innovation, and consumers. I am really proud to launch the first article in the series today Gene Genius: how gene technology is changing the future of food.
The article is written in collaboration with Vincent Heeringa, based on interviews with John Caradus, Joanne Hort, Richard Newcomb, Revel Drummond, and Peter Cook. It considers the threat and opportunity of gene technology to New Zealand’s food and fibre industry, presenting our arguments clearly for all to read.
It is timely to launch this when there is so much chatter on where changes in regulations are likely to land over coming months. Our point here is to make regulations proportionate to risk.
Working on behalf of a partnership is really powerful when we can share knowledge and insights like this.
