018: Creating a World Where Alternative Proteins Are No Longer Alternatives with Bruce Friedrich
Manage episode 346467185 series 2799860
"We've seen a lot of progress in the last few years. We are on a significant upward trajectory that will continue. But plugging into these endeavors is how we can make a difference." -Bruce Friedrich
Since the turn of the 21st Century, global meat consumption has increased significantly around the world. This growing demand is unsustainable and highly detrimental to our climate, our health, and our security.
The good news is that we already have the solution right before us— alternative proteins. With alternative proteins, we lessen the cost of production while also reducing carbon emissions from agriculture. And not only are they solving global environmental issues, but they are also ethical for the animals and healthy for humans.
The challenge is enormous, but not impossible. Many companies have begun working at the intersection of innovation, food, and sustainability. But we, too, have a significant role to play.
In this episode, we hear how the Good Food Institute is revolutionizing the field of biotechnology and food innovation from their CEO and Founder, Bruce Friedrich himself.
Listen in as Justine and Bruce share how much the agricultural sector is contributing to climate change, how much food is wasted unnecessarily, and how we— as students, individual consumers, founders, and leaders— can help create a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternatives, but choices for everyone.
Meet Bruce:
Bruce Friedrich serves as GFI’s chief thought leader and relationship-builder, working in close partnership with GFI’s global teams and food system stakeholders around the world.
Areas of expertise: alternative proteins generally, GFI’s global programs and strategy, bicycling in heavy traffic.
Bruce oversees GFI’s global strategy, working with and across all of GFI’s international teams (Asia Pacific, Brazil, Europe, India, Israel, and United States) to ensure that GFI is maximally effective at implementing programs that deliver mission-focused results. Bruce is a TED Fellow, Y Combinator alum, 2021 “American Food Hero” (EatingWell Magazine), and popular speaker on food innovation. He has penned op-eds for the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Wired, and many other publications. He has represented GFI on the TED Radio Hour, New Yorker Radio Hour, Ezra Klein Show, Making Sense (Sam Harris), ReCode Decode, and other programs and podcasts. Bruce’s 2019 TED talk has been viewed two million times and translated into dozens of languages. He graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown Law and also holds degrees from Johns Hopkins University and the London School of Economics.
