Angus Gidley-Baird:
Rabobank's senior animal proteins analyst said opportunities for innovation in the global beef sector were growing, driven by new investment and increasing industry awareness of the need to improve environmental and societal outcomes, with large components of venture capital now starting to flow into animal protein supply chains.
