Future of Energy I Mark Post I Digitizing Food: In Vitro Burgers I SingularityU Czech Summit 2018

"With the production of food from labs and with the help of stem cells we could reduce the usage of land by 90%, water by 90% and reduce energy consumption by 60%.“

In 2013, Dr. Mark Post and his team at Maastricht University in the Netherlands presented to a few lucky tasters, and a worldwide audience, a single hamburger grown in a lab from beef stem cells. While there have been many other innovative burger products coming and going over the last few years, Post’s burger had the unique claim to fame that it was made of real, pure beef—beef that had not been cut from a cow. Last year, Dr. Post proclaimed that, as soon as 2020, customers will be able to buy lab-grown burgers for $10 apiece. The idea of eating lab-grown meat is still hard to wrap one’s head around. But it’s an intriguing one, particularly in light of inhumane treatment of livestock, cattle producing greenhouse gases linked to global warming, and the world’s growing population leading to food insecurity.
