The next global agricultural revolution | Bruce Friedrich

Conventional meat production causes harm to our environment and presents risks to global health, but people aren't going to eat less meat unless we give them alternatives that cost the same (or less) and that taste the same (or better). In an eye-opening talk, food innovator and TED Fellow Bruce Friedrich shows the plant- and cell-based products that could soon transform the global meat industry — and your dinner plate.

  1. wow!!!!!!!!!!
    I was amazed by hearing meat production from plants!
    And saving our planet.

    India is an agricultural nation, most vegetarian on earth is in my country. however, can India help in the mission?

    • POPULATION REDUCTION – INDIAS OUT OF CONTROL POPULATION GROWTH IS GREATER THAN ITS ABILITY TO FEED ITS OWN PEOPLE.

    • I Think that India is one of the nations that burns more charcoal in the world. It has a huge problem with contamination and garbage disposal. India could help the world helping India itself first. (nuclear energy is an option already, green energies would be better tho)

  2. Please leave a reference identifying the study put out by the 30 researchers, so we can examine their findings ourselves.

    • @LiquidCookie So it would seem, but I tried to look it up. I narrowed it down to 3 studies (2 may simply be updates) entitled “Planetary Boundaries Framework” led by Johan Rockstrum. I also started looking into the funding of the study. The potential for bias in their conclusions needs to be considered.

    • @James da ginge:) Hi James, in all fairness, the criteria for what is “self-evident” is not singular. I actually agreed with LiquidCookie until I decided to try to identify the study and had trouble. I do analyze things carefully and critically. I am not a push over; but I actually like it when people point out something I didn’t think of, because it teaches me something. Have a great day!

  3. Also gotta save the bees! Theyre dying at an alarming rate (i think 75 percent reduction of beehives in maryland, since 2016) and their pollination is directly related to our food supply. Trees, bees, and mushrooms, are the keys to maintain bio diversity and life on this planet. Humans need to chill out with fossil fuels, forresting, and spreading toxic chemicals everywhere.

    • , bees man your head of the game call you queen bee any day that means you yourself as a person need to do almost about everything to save the bees like buying things online for more bees to arrive in your backyard garden and local parks things that may attract bees and make bees populate more like a bee nest

    • Salinas California like these people are speed demons on my side of the road too much Racers and their race cars acting like gangsters patrolling around in beat up cars and new cars from the year straight out of a dealer or used dealer whatever comes first but it really bothers me everyday and every-night when they try to go out racing or when they’re just passing by going to work it’s annoying seeing these people that try to act real cool but are not cool people

    • Do some more research and spread that knowledge for people to understand make cartoons on YouTube about ways to help for kids to see there bees populate more make book markers for children to receive free of bees if like to save honey bees we need to populator and understand why the decrease is it due to farming and poor nutrition to all bees or is it from youth how could you save the depletion of bees population worldwide is fading can it be the result of the African killer bee that was release can that be in effect I’m about to knowledgeable about the B history and how to help out but I sure allow them to fly around and Buzz

    • @moses hernandez thank you for your comment brother. Look up paul stamets (his interview with Joe Rogan on youtube is packed with great information). Saving the environment is going to be a collective effort. We need 7 billion people on board. It is truly an exciting time to be a human being on this planet. Much love to you and good luck on your journey!
