Can Cultivated Meat Help Avoid Future Pandemics?
There is a way we can make safe meat that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 96% while using 99% less land, 96% less water, and 45% less energy. It won’t use any antibiotics and won’t create future pandemics. This is cultivated meat - meat made from animal cells instead of raising an entire animal.
In this Episode of Sustainability Matters Today, I speak with Brian Spears, CEO and Founder of New Age Meats and Champion of Manufacturing Cultivated Meat. New Age Meats is pioneering research into cultivated and lab-grown meats, starting with pork sausages and in the future moving on to other meat delicacies.
With plans of becoming the world’s largest meat company, Brian spoke about how New Age Meats is refining their process for large-scale manufacturing, how the COVID-19 crisis has uncovered many problems with the meat industry, and of course, how good the cultivated meat tastes.
