Please leave a review on Spotify and iTunes This episode is part of our season on promoting cellular agriculture and alternative proteins. Alt proteins are a rather recent development in the food industry and face some challenges on the consumer acceptance front. In the first season of Red to Green you will find an explanation of cell ag - whether you want to call it cultured meat, cell-based meat, cultivated meat, clean meat, or anything similar. This season is a follow-up and focused on the big challenges of cellular agriculture including socioeconomic questions, industry branding, nomenclature, and more.
