Sustainability Success Story – Saeid Baroutian

Sustainability Success Story – Saeid Baroutian

This project combines the knowledge of the indigenous Māori community in Aotearoa New Zealand with a scientific engineering approach to develop a sustainable process for the food industry ingredients sector. The project is based on the relatively remote east coast region of New Zealand, which has limited economic opportunities. The project will create a sustainable regenerative process providing employment opportunities and wider benefits for the local community.
