(Old/R2G) 10. Private Patents, Monopolies, and Lobbying - Obstacles for Cellular Agriculture with Isha Datar From New Harvest

- An old episode from the Red to Green Podcast on Food Tech & Bio Tech. Listen if you are interested in the future of food, but this isn’t Scaling Nerds.

Red to Green was a podcast that investigated how to transition the food industry from harmful to healthy, from polluting to sustainable, from Red to Green. Each season had a different topic

1. Season: Cultivated Meat
2. Season: Plastic Alternatives
3. Season: Food History
4. Season: Food Waste
5. Season: Biotech in Food
6. Season: Book Reviews on the future of food

Why is there comparatively so little science on creating animal products without animals? Why are pharma companies more interested in cellular agriculture startups than food companies? How has the field developed in the last 5 years? This is an interview with Isha Datar the Executive Director of New Harvest about this fascinating emerging industry and the importance of public research.

Isha published an important research paper called "Possibilities for an in-vitro meat production system" in 2010, when very few people even know about the possibility of creating animal products without animals. She co-founded Perfect Day, making milk without cows and Clara Foods, making eggs without chickens. New Harvest is an important non-profit research institute fund and conducts open, public, collaborative research that reinvents the way we make animal products - without animals.
