Food & Drink Business editor Kim Berry is joined by Karen Job, head of industry engagement with the independent think tank for alternative proteins Food Frontier to discuss its report into the plant-based meat industry in Australia.

The discussion covers consumer engagement, new product and industry developments, the formats that plant-based meats are taking, and the challenges and opportunities faced by companies in the sector.

Karen also covers the investment opportunities and corporate growth currently being experienced by companies associated with plant-based meats.

We review some of the key findings from Food Frontier’s industry report, the segments of the industry that are engaged with plant-based meats and issues including refrigeration, reduction of food waste and consumer education.

The episode wraps up by discussing the export opportunities for Australian products in the alternative protein industry.
