Space: The final food frontier
Will growing steaks under microgravity conditions help in the quest for food security? And, back on earth, can consumers could be persuaded to stomach meat reared in labs?
Is space the final frontier for meat grown from animal stem cells?
Elizabeth Hotson asks whether growing steaks under micro gravity conditions could help in the quest for food security and whether, back on earth, consumers could be persuaded to stomach meat reared in labs.
We hear from Didier Toubia, the CEO of Aleph Farms who defends his space meat mission from accusations of gimmickry.
Seren Kel, the science and technology manager for the Europe region of the Good Food Institute, gives her view on the environmental impact of cell-gown meat and Dr Jason Michael Thomas, senior lecturer in psychology at Aston University explains how reluctant consumers might be persuaded to try new and strange-sounding foods.
