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. He and Emma Osborne dip into the ethics of meat, animal agriculture, and how companies like Mzansi will have a huge impact through wise consumer targeting.

Listen in to our chat to hear us ponder:

- what a world without animal cruelty would be like

- how he transitioned from selling plant-based food to cell-based founder

- why he chose to focus on meat for the BBQ

- what "Mzansi" means to them and why they chose it as their name
