Plant-based animal product alternatives and gluten-free markets - opportunities and challenges for New Zealand

Abstract

This article, based on a project undertaken for Takahuri Whenua (the NZ Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre Programme), considers emerging opportunities in New Zealand in the plantbased animal product alternative and gluten-free markets. Three exemplar products are considered – peas (could also be fava beans) for protein, oats for oat milk and chestnuts for chestnut flour.
