Producing more greenhouse gases than cars, meat consumption is predicted to double by 2050, bringing with it a climate catastrophe if we continue with our current model of factory farming. A potential solution to this impending disaster may lie with “clean meat,” a visionary science that produces lab-grown meat without killing animals. But in a race to alter diets and save the planet, can this new approach to food win over omnivorous skeptics? Following the innovative California start-up Memphis Meats as they ramp up production and navigate a fast-moving industry, this Hot Docs 2020 selection makes it clear we’re on the cusp of an edible revolution.
