Paul Shapiro, CEO of The Better Meat Co. and Author of Clean Meat, How Growing Meat WIthout Animals will Revolutionize Dinner and the World, explains how new processes can replace the environmental disaster that is animal agriculture.

Ecosystems can again flourish. Everyone can do this! For more information on the state of our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.
