10. Private Patents, Monopolies, and Lobbying - Obstacles for Cellular Agriculture with Isha Datar From New Harvest

Why is there comparatively so little science on creating animal products without animals? Why are pharma companies more interested in cellular agriculture startups than food companies? How has the field developed in the last 5 years? This is an interview with Isha Datar the Executive Director of New Harvest about this fascinating emerging industry and the importance of public research. Isha published an important research paper called "Possibilities for an in-vitro meat production system" in 2010, when very few people even know about the possibility of creating animal products without animals. She co-founded Perfect Day, making milk without cows and Clara Foods, making eggs without chickens. New Harvest is an important non-profit research institute fund and conducts open, public, collaborative research that reinvents the way we make animal products - without animals.
