#3 Designing the Food of the Future
Show Notes

This show focusses on food security, showcasing different feeding initiatives. How can we develop, design and implement sustainable ways to grow food in the future?

Mark Post - Chief Scientific Officer at Mosa Meat. In 2013 Marc unveiled the world's FIRST hamburger made by growing cow cells, rather than slaughtering an animal.

Andile Ngcobo - Farmer, Consultant, Agribusiness Strategist who is climbing the agriculture ladder. A large-scale commercial farm manager, managing the operations of Tusokuhle Farming in Pietermaritzburg.

Arturo Elizondo - CEO of Clara Foods, a sustainable ingredients company, making the world's most comprehensive egg white substitute. Completely animal-free, far more sustainable, and free of salmonella without compromising the qualities we know and love.

The world's population is growing each day and the current models of producing food will not be sufficient and will have to be redesigned through new ways of farming, alternative ways of culturing meat and using yeast science to grow eggs in a lab without any chickens.
