Episode 520: Martin Rowe on what is Beyond the Impossible

This week Mariann talks to Martin Rowe about his new paper, Beyond the Impossible: The Futures of Plant-Based and Cellular Meats, his work with the Vegan America Project, and his thoughts about the concerns that environmental and whole-food groups have surrounding cellular and plant-based products

Martin Rowe is the co-founder of Lantern Books, and the creator of the Vegan America Project, a semi-autonomous project of Brighter Green, an international public policy “action” tank. As part of the Project, Martin has written Beyond the Impossible: The Futures of Plant-based and Cellular Meat and Dairy, a policy paper that explores the prospects of both industries. Martin is based in Brooklyn, NY.

In the intro to the show, Jasmin and Mariann review their favorite Our Hen House interviews of 2019, as well as their home cooking woes.  Later in the episode, Mariann brings us Rising Anxieties!
