BACKGROUND
New initiatives and research by government agencies, academia, agri-technology and food sectors are reviewing protein needs in the context of production, health and sustainability. Within Southeast Asia, it is timely to re-assess protein sources, requirements and intakes, and to evaluate protein quality in our varied diets. New knowledge on protein science and novel protein sources will inform dietary recommendations, advance innovation and product development, and help address nutritional and sustainability gaps.
This symposium will bring together subject experts, researchers, health professionals, food scientists, government agencies, industry and product innovators to share and discuss the latest from research to development.
