Future 50 Foods from Knorr

Among other duties, I serve as a member of the Sustainable Sourcing Advisory Board of Unilever and through this I was asked to review this report. I was delighted to do so, as I find it an important initiative to broaden the range of crops commonly used in foods. Of course I was not surprised to see that several legumes were selected by the Knorr team and the scientists who advised them.

Introduction

I’ve been experiencing some pretty extreme changes in temperature recently – in early March I was in southern Mali with temperatures around  35o C and then in the snow in Norway the next week with N2Africa colleagues for a RoundTable on Sustainable Soyabean.
