Is that juicy burger headed for extinction? Meat consumption has become one of sustainability's biggest flashpoints - and perhaps its ripest opportunity for disruption. While meat production consumes a staggering 83% of global farmland - equivalent to the entire Americas - it delivers just 18% of our calories.
What will tomorrow's protein look like? Lab-grown meat has seen costs plummet from $330,000 to as little as $10-50 per serving, but questions remain about scaling and consumer acceptance. Meanwhile, plant-based alternatives using soy and pea protein continue gaining ground in supermarkets worldwide.
Join David Carlin and Simon Messenger in Episode 3 of our food series as they slice into the sizzling debate about meat's future. Will technology save our steaks, or are we headed for a plant-based revolution?
