Bushtech - Agtech So what? show

Summary: Dr Rosie Bosworth is an investor, storyteller and food futurist who is extremely passionate about the future of agriculture, especially in Australia and NZ. She holds a PhD in environmental innovation and sustainable technology development from the University of Auckland Business School. In this episode, we discuss several questions, some quite controversial and though provoking, including: * What is the role of pastoral agricultural systems in the future? * What are “clean meat” “alternative protein” and “plant-based” protein...and what do they taste like? * Does alternative protein and dairy need to taste like their traditional counterparts to gain market share? * How is industry responding to the growth of alternative protein? How can farmers respond to this emerging trend, if at all?
