ClimateCast with Tom Heap

Could a scotch egg help solve climate change?


Listen Later

On this episode of ClimateCast, Tom Heap visits the home of afternoon tea, Fortnum and Mason, but there's something different about the menu.

Its scotch egg is made from cultivated meat – that's meat grown in a lab.

He speaks to the scientists behind the product to find out how it was made and explores if this could be a solution to our polluting meat and dairy industry - which accounts for 14% of greenhouse gas emissions globally.

Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Gemma Watson
