TITLE: The Quest for Protein: Challenges and Opportunities Regarding Animal and Vegetable Protein Availability
Demand for protein, whether vegetable or animal, is rising rapidly and is driven by growing wealth, population and urbanization, plus the intensification of meat production. Globally, proteins from any source are often one of the most limited food component in both animal and human diets. In this presentation, Sawyer will elaborate on the drivers and developments for demand and supply of animal and vegetable protein; possible future scenarios; and related challenges and opportunities for the companies involved in this industry.
