\\nThere\\u2019s a shift happening in the food that we eat. That is, we\\u2019re seeing a transition to plant based food. According to Bloomberg, the plant based food industry is projected to hit $162 billion in the next decade. With a projected population of 10 billion people on earth by 2080, it will be impossible to feed that many mouths with animal-based proteins. Enter Nourish.\\xa0

\\nOur guest this week is James Petrie, the CEO & Co-Founder of Nourish.

\\nThough not a trivial exercise to make plant-based proteins delicious, Nourish is responsible for the production of fats that have made a breakthrough in the taste and experience of alternative proteins. Nourish engineer yeasts and fungal streams that behave in the same way as animal fats - and taste just as good!\\xa0
