In this podcast, Allison Berke, respected academic advisor to The Good Food Institute, talks about clean meat and the future of our food supply. The Good Food Institute is a non-profit organization primarily focused on easing the necessary transition from factory-farmed animal products to better-for-the-planet plant-based and clean meat alternatives. Remarkably, Berke states that lab scientists can create meat products that are identical molecularly to actual animal meat. However the similarity ends there in terms of the impact on the environment as clean meat is environmentally sound and of course doesn’t require animals to be harvested. And the benefits are enormous in terms of human health, world poverty, and efficiency.  Berke talks in detail about the many benefits of clean meat. She explains how scientific solutions to global issues such as these are solving multiple problems at a time, by creating a clean meat source that can allow us to grow many more calories for human consumption on the same area of land used for traditional animal-based meat production. She discusses this growing industry and talks about how big farm corporations such as Tyson are getting into the mix, which will hopefully help to create a massive paradigm shift in the way we think about our food sources and how they are produced.

Cleaner Meat, Happier Planet – Allison Berke, The Good Food Institute – How Clean Meat Options Will Change the Way We Eat, and Decrease Environmental Impact

Allison Berke is an academic advisor at The Good Food Institute, a non-profit organization working on the transition from factory-farmed animal products to plant-based and clean meat alternatives. By taking a small number of cells from an animal and applying biomedical methods in the lab, the science and tech team at The Good Food Institute is growing full meat products that are molecularly identical to animal meat, but in a way that is better for the environment and doesn’t require the slaughter of animals. “Clean meat and plant-based meat are going to be better for the environment…better in terms of animal welfare, and also better in terms of global poverty and human health in that we can grow more calories on the same amount of land more efficiently and with fewer environmental inputs,” says Berke. Tune in to hear the details, such as how to obtain the taste and texture of different types of meat, the challenges and constraints in terms of cost-effectiveness, and the growing interest in the plant-based and clean meat field–even by major factory-farm-based corporations such as Tyson.
