#4 - The future of food, cellular agriculture, fake meat, and clean meat

Cody Creelman, Cow Vet

I love thinking about and discussing the future of agriculture and food!! In this episode I discuss my upcoming speaking engagement at the New Harvest 2018 conference in Boston at the MIT Media Lab, a conference dedicated to the science of cellular agriculture. We dive deep into why animal agriculture exists in the first place, what cellular agriculture is, the controversy surrounding "lab grown" meat, and what this might mean for the future of food. From fake meat to clean meat, synthetic milk, and mushroom-based leather, I talk about it all. What does this all mean for farmers and ranchers, and I ask the ultimate question, am I the last of the cow vets?
