In Episode 3, Ira van Eelen (Co-Founder of KindEarth.Tech) introduces Tjeerd de Groot (Member of D66 and Head of Animal Agriculture for the Dutch Parliament) who was one of they key politicians that helped with the cultivated meat movement in the Netherlands. Ira & Tjeerd discuss the issues of growing animals the traditional way, food safety and regulations, how other people and politicians can help with the movement and the future of farmers.

In this episode, we meet Brett Thompson from Mzansi Meats whose cultivated mince is going to revolutionise BBQ's across South Africa as Africa's 1st cell-based meat startup.

- what a world without animal cruelty would be like
