RAW GREENEpisode 018 - Lab-grown Meat - Dr. Elliot SwartzLab-grown meat, also known as cultivated meat, is a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional animal agriculture. We discussed lab-grown meat with Dr. Elliot Swartz from the The Good Food Institute (https://gfi.org/) a non-profit at the forefront of developing alternative protein technologies, including plant-based meats, fermentation-derived foods, and cultivated meat.
One of the the biggest challenges in scaling up cultivated meat is reducing costs and making it affordable for consumers. While some companies have received regulatory approval for their products, large-scale production and availability in supermarkets are still a few years away.

Business for Good PodcastPremature Obituaries? Bruce Friedrich's Optimism for Cultivated MeatUpon reading his obituary, Mark Twain reportedly wrote that "the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Whether Twain actually wrote this or not, the reality remains that today the reports of the death of cultivated meat are indeed quite real. Yet Bruce Friedrich, the president of the Good Food Institute, is here to tell you that he believes such reports are not based on science and are indeed greatly exaggerated. Few people have done more to inspire others to pursue alternative protein—including cultivated meat—as a strategy to ameliorate world problems than Bruce. I've known Bruc...

Tangentially Speaking with Christopher Ryan601 - Elliot Swartz (Lab Meat)Trained as a neuroscientist, Elliot is the Principle Scientist at a nonprofit called The Good Food Institute, which is focused on building an innovation ecosystem that will accelerate the development of alternatives to conventional/industrialized production of meat, eggs, and dairy. They believe that we can avoid or mitigate the many negative externalities of industrial meat production by instead making meat from plants or growing it directly from animal cells. I’ve got my doubts, but Elliot makes a convincing case. See what you think.Here’s a link to the Budokon retreat info, if you might want...

The Sentience Institute PodcastElliot Swartz of the Good Food Institute on the bottlenecks to the scale-up of cultured meat and plant-based meat“There’s a relatively clear path on dramatically reducing the costs of the cell culture media. So I’d say it's definitely the most pressing bottleneck… not perhaps the most technically involved bottleneck… The recombinant proteins are by far the driving source of those cost contributions where probably anywhere from over 90 to 95% or more of the cost contribution of cell culture media today comes from those recombinant proteins. An independent group at Northwestern University in Chicago came out with a paper this past year… they were able to drop that cost of the media to around 11 dollars per liter… that was a 97...
