In this panel from the 2023 SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Sept 26-27, 2023), three experts discuss the future of meat and the challenges faced by the cultivated meat industry.

Deniz from Prolific talks about the importance of reducing costs and increasing yields in order to compete with factory farming. Last, Philip from OSI Group mentions the role of traditional meat companies in providing sustainable options and the importance of clear and accurate labeling. They also discuss the need for transparency and independent validation of safety and nutritional data. The discussion closes with ideas on the future of meat consumption and the potential for innovation to address climate change.
