In the middle of the otherworldly landscape of iceland, something strange is going on. 130,000 barley plants are slowly making their way from one end of this greenhouse to the other. and what's even stranger is what this barley is going to be used for. it is in the food chain but it's not food for us and it's not food for animals. no, this is something much, much weirder than that. this grass is a host. it's been genetically modified to carry a special protein called a growth factor in its seeds. once the plants reach the end of theirjourney, these seeds are harvested,
Completely control the nutrient mix that the barley gets. we are here in a high—tech greenhouse that is using geothermal energy for heating and for the electricity. we are using hydroponic cultivation. the computer decides when to open windows, when to turn off lights, when to pump in c02, what nutrition to feed these plants and so forth. but eventually, these carefully programmed plants will have to be harvested in regular fields to produce enough growth factor for a global lab—grown meat industry, and barley specifically has been chosen because it can grow in many different climates and ...
To carry a special protein called a growth factor in its seeds. once the plants reach the end of theirjourney, these seeds are harvested, milled and purified and the resulting growth factor protein can be used to help produce something very unexpected — meat, in a lab, without the animals. i think we will reach the point where it's not, like, nice to have. i think it's we have to have it. the earth is not going to grow, we're not going to get more agriculture area, the population is rising, and we have to feed all of the people. the argument for growing meat in labs without living animals is...
