When it comes to cultivated meat, the food industry remains in a holding pattern around what the future might hold for this segment of the meat industry. Some folks see cultivated meat as an uncertainty — and maybe even a threat to the traditional meat industry. Others, however, believe cultivated meat should have a seat at the table regarding how the industry will feed the growing global population with fewer resources in the coming decades and beyond.

Jeff “Trip” Tripician, a meat industry veteran who joined Netherlands-based cultivated meat processor Meatable as its new CEO in May of this year, joins the podcast to discuss where cultivated meat and Meatable’s product line stand today, what challenges remain on the road to full-scale commerce in the U.S., and where he believes the future potential is greatest for cultivated meat down the road.
