Emerging innovation in plant-based meat shows promise for revolutionizing the food system, and global growth in the plant-based meat industry has exploded over the past few years. Identifying the most important white space ideas, prioritizing the research needed to explore them, and solving related technical issues across the entire value chain—from crop development to foodservice and retail distribution—constitute the highest impact strategies for enabling plant-based meat to help supply the global demand for meat. Four areas in need of additional research and development are crop optimization specifically for plant-based meat formulations, alternative manufacturing methods, expanded production capacity, and product sensory improvements. If successfully implemented on a global scale, a food system with a much greater reliance on plant-based meat-like products has the potential to sustainably feed 9.7 billion people by 2050 and mitigate climate change and other pressing environmental problems. Furthermore, inappropriate use of antibiotics in food animals contributes to antimicrobial resistance, and it is estimated that three of four new or emerging infectious diseases in humans are transmitted from animals. Thus, modernizing meat production by reducing use of animals in the food system can decrease the risk of global public health issues such as antibiotic resistance and","PeriodicalId":50707,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Foods World","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61185573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fortenbery","doi":"10.1094/cfw-65-5-0050","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1094/cfw-65-5-0050","url":null,"abstract":"Wheat markets on the Asian continent represent the most important destinations for U.S. wheat—both by volume and value. In addition, projected increases in population and incomes in Asian countries suggest there are significant growth opportunities for U.S. wheat exporters going forward. As Asian incomes grow, the transition from buying “wheat” to buying “quality wheat” will work in favor of U.S. producers. The key to maintaining current Asian markets, and growing in expanding markets, is developing and maintaining a stable and equitable trade environment. Although the United States is well positioned to compete in such an environment, it does face significant competition from other exporters. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture projections, the U.S. share of the world wheat trade is expected to decline over the next decade. Thus, maintaining current Asian relationships and expanding where growth opportunities exist will be key to the future of U.S. wheat exports. Any bilateral trade frictions between the United States and current or potential wheat customers could erode any competitive advantage the United States has in a more stable trade environment. The key to success, then, is a continued focus on quality and building strong, stable, and favorable relationships with U.S. customers. Trade between the United States and Asia has grown significantly over the last decade, but it has not been without controversy and has not impacted all sectors equally. Total U.S. exports, imports, and the balance of trade for goods between the United States and Asian countries are shown in Figure 1. As shown in the graph, the balance of trade has grown increasingly negative over the last decade from a U.S. perspective. The growing trade deficit has been a major concern of the current U.S. administration and was used to help justify the imposition of tariffs on goods imported into the United States, especially from China, beginning in 2018 (1). Much of the U.S. trade with Asian countries occurs under the umbrella of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). APEC is a forum organized to facilitate economic trade and investment and regional cooperation among its 21 members. Asian members of APEC include the People’s Republic of China; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; the Republic of Korea; Malaysia; the Philippines; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; Vietnam; Brunei Darussalam; and Papua New Guinea. Non-Asian member countries include Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, the Russian Federation, and the United States. Together, APEC members account for about 60% of world gross domestic product (GDP), and 47% of all trade (7). All APEC decisions are made by consensus, and commitments among the individual trading partners are voluntary. However, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative argues that participation in APEC has led to a reduction in tariffs and other trade barriers between members over time and has led to economic growth in th","PeriodicalId":50707,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Foods World","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61185823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
