Welcome back to the Wageningen Alternative Protein Podcast! We’re glad you‘re joining us on our first episode of season 4 :) This episode is the first of a 3-episode mini-series, inspired by the three new courses offered at Wageningen University & Research on cellular agriculture, the very first of its kind in Europe.  🌱  

In this episode, we sit down with Dr João Marques Garcia, assistant professor at the Bioprocess Engineering department, and pioneer in cultivated meat education at Wageningen. Joao shares his journey to WUR and reflects on his experience organising and launching the course "Cultivated Meat & Seafood Production".  🔬✨ 

 🎙️ Joao also shares his insights on the short- and long-term challenges facing the cellular agriculture field, and the role of academic institutions like WUR in driving innovation. 

🎧 Don’t forget to tune in to the other 2 episodes of the mini-series to learn more about cellular agriculture at WUR!
