The authors of this new celebratory book looking at 202 world-changing innovations from New Zealand say that fact gives producers of A2 milk the ability to market towards people who don’t currently consume milk due to their intolerance symptoms. Describing how A2 milk is made, authors of No.8 Re-wired David Downs and Nanogirl Dr Michelle Dickinson say the milk could snatch a greater share of the rapidly growing export markets of China and South-East Asia. “As New Zealand farmers decide whether they want to switch to A2 herds, it looks like the science behind the milk section is going to be the big differentiator in what we purchase from the fridge in the upcoming years.” The twosome say the ‘no.8 wire’ mentality is no longer relevant for New Zealand, and while Kiwis routinely punch above their weight in sport, politics or social justice, clinging to an outdated notion of innovation will be devastating. “Take notice, world…New Zealand is undergoing a re-charge. The ‘no.8 wire’ thinking we have been so proud of is being expanded and improved.” CONFOIL FOOD PACKAGING Confoil not only offers a comprehensive array of aluminium foil trays but also a range of Dual Ovenable Paperboard containers to suit almost all applications.
