Highlights:

01:08 - "Air Protein’s transformative land-free process uses only elements of air to yield a carbon-negative protein, resulting in the most sustainable way to grow food."

12:36 - "We leverage some of NASA’s original ideas to build a technology that allows us to make food in a way that doesn’t require arable land. You can make food anywhere using just air, water, and energy."

17:22 - "If the way we make food today clears land equivalent to the size of South America and contributes more greenhouse gases than the entire transportation sector, how will we feed 9 or 10 billion people?"

15:08 - "We started by focusing on the hardest problem first—can we make something like chicken, with the same texture and flavor, but grown using air?"

20:09 - "The main thing consumers can do is vote with their wallet—choose products that are good for both your health and the planet."

23:27 - "The way you climb Mount Everest is one step at a time. Even a small piece of a possible solution can make a difference, and you'd be surprised how many people are willing to join you on that journey."
