Cell-based Fish: Plastic & Pollutant-free Seafood

When we pollute the oceans we also pollute our food supply: All fish contains small amounts of Methylmercury (MeHg) – the most toxic form of mercury. Also, increasingly microplastics can be found that may release absorbed pollutants and chemical additives causing hormone disruption, cancer risk, and DNA damage. Find our how cell-based fish can be a safer alternative in today’s Interview with Blue Nalu CEO Lou Cooperhouse.

Proteins made from CO2 and Hydrogen: Making Food from Air

Can you make food out of thin air? Yes, you can. And today you will hear from a company making this magic possible called Solarfoods. Their protein Solein is created by feeding microbes CO2 and hydrogen. This creates a mostly taste-neutral powder that can be used to replace animal protein or stronger tasting plant protein pretty much anywhere. Soleins carbon footprint is about 5x smaller than the footprint of plant protein and 100x smaller than the one of animal prot
