Plant-based and clean meat are crucial for a sustainable food system
Bruce FriedrichIf we are going to effectively address the environmental devastation and public health threats of industrial animal agriculture, it is critical that we develop plant-based and clean meat. Regardless of our personal diets, everyone concerned with the environment and public health should support the efforts of plant-based and clean meat companies to compete directly with industrial meat on taste, price, and convenience.
Can AI help fix the food system?
Mary AllenLav Varshney spearheaded IBM's Chef Watson initiative to create new recipes using artificial intelligence. He'll be discussing cross-disciplinary R&D and plant-based meat at our Good Food Conference in September.
