How Lab-Made Milk Could Change The Food Industry

The video discusses the rise of milk alternatives, focusing on a new category called animal-free dairy. Garrett Broad, an associate professor, explains how this dairy is produced using genetic engineering and fermentation to create real milk proteins without animals. The discussion covers the taste, market potential, and environmental and ethical impacts of this innovation. While animal-free dairy could reduce methane emissions and ethical concerns associated with traditional dairy farming, its sustainability and consumer acceptance remain to be fully proven.
