What if you could eat chicken nuggets without harming a chicken? It's possible through "cellular agriculture," says Isha Datar. In a talk about cutting-edge science, she explains how this new means of food production makes it possible to eat meat without the negative consequences of industrial farming -- and how it could fundamentally change our food systems for the better. "It's our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a second chance at agriculture," she says.

Isha Datar: How we could eat real meat without harming animals

How we could eat real meat without harming animals

African swine fever eradicated 1 in 4 pigs globally, illustrating the fragility and environmental toll of animal farming.

Cultured meat, a science in progress, saw cost drop from €250,000 for a burger in 2013 to $50 per pound; a game-changing shift.

Cellular agriculture could drastically cut land use by 99% and reduce greenhouse emissions by 96%, transforming global food production.
