Massey University<\/strong>, Aotearoa New Zealand, and A*STAR Clinical Nutrition Research Centre<\/strong>, Singapore, are two leading and complementary research facilities in Australasia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are collaborating on this project to better understand consumer food choice behaviours and sensory preferences when it comes to plant-based foods (PBFs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with M\u0101ori entities, we also seek to explore awareness in the Singapore market of the unique value proposition of M\u0101ori food and beverage businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
