To the food & beverage industry, we ask the question, What is your role in sustainable nutrition? Back in March, we had the opportunity to gain an understanding of this topic from Daniel Campion, Sustainable Nutrition Lead for Kerry Asia Pacifc Middle East & Africa, who is confident about the direction industry and governments are taking to push the sustainability agenda in Asia. You will find our interview with Mr Campion on page 10For Thailand-based Chiangmai Bioveggie Co., Ltd., its role in sustainable nutrition is quite clear.
