Upcoming Event: Red Meat Sector Conference

Later this month, the Meat Industry Association of New Zealand (MIA), and Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) will jointly host the Red Meat Sector Conference, which brings together all our sector players and is arguably the most significant networking event on the red meat calendar. The conference is held over 25-26 July in Rotorua.

The objective of the conference is to promote and foster the red meat sector by providing a framework for engagement with farmers, industry and networks, as well as showcasing innovation and best practice.

Some of the topics covered at the conference this year include: the global food system and where meat fits in ahead of the UN Food Systems Summit later this year; the political landscape and its implications for the red meat sector; research on New Zealand red meat’s environmental footprint and potential opportunities with respect to regenerative agriculture; the importance of trade in a post-COVID world and the market access opportunities with the EU and UK following Brexit.

We’re particularly excited about presentations from Phil Houlding, Director International Policy, Ministry for Primary Industries and Anne Mottet from The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations who will be covering sustainable food production from their own unique perspectives.
