3.2. 🦄 Startup vs. Corporate 🏛️ Stop Bashing Animal Agriculture with Jack A Bobo
You find out how plant-based and cell-based companies shouldn't just think about consumer acceptance but also industry acceptance. We often tell a story of us against them in industry lobbying. The cool, mission-driven plant-based and cell-based startups against the evil conventional meat industry. And I must say it’s also been a storytelling approach that I have followed. But it has a downside: creating confrontation and friction, possibly stalling the growth of the alternative protein space. Our today's guest - Jack a bobo has lots of rather unusual, controversial opinions which will get you thinking. There were so many intriguing, twitter-short quotes that we could have filled a 5-minute intro just with that. Def. listen till the end and share it with colleagues and friends in the industry.

Alt proteins are a rather recent development in the food industry and face some challenges on the consumer acceptance front.

This season is a follow-up and focused on the big challenges of cellular agriculture including socioeconomic questions, industry branding, nomenclature, and more.
