In Part 1 of our Alt-Foods series, we dive into the amazing science and technology that’s powering the future of food. Meat grown in a lab. Meals 3D-printed at your kitchen table. And a Nobel Prize-winning technology that edits genes — and our perception of food itself.

In Part 2, we’ll bring you to the present, on the front lines of the food-science debate, exploring how two very different industry leaders envision alternative foods.

Episode Breakdown: What scientific innovations are changing our food? | How do you grow a cell-based hamburger? | How can genetics and CRISPR technology lead to innovative food changes? | How do we reduce the costs of making lab-based food? | As technology evolves, what responsibility do scientists have to protect the integrity of our food?
