The Pick List is back for season 2! This week, Laura and Julia are joined by Murray King, a dairy entrepreneur from New Zealand and self-confessed ‘farmer who is easily bored’.

They discuss new research on Gen Z’s attitudes to lab-grown meat, PepsiCo’s new Driftwell drink, which promises to aid sleep and relaxation, and an innovative ingredients initiative looking to kick-start a new Māori-led export sector.

Plus, they chat about how a new generation of smart fridges can help in the fight against food waste – and why fresh oranges are having a moment.
