What we believe about food will kill us, cellular agriculture | Lejjy Gafour | TEDxBoston

The land is dying, and so is our food. And yet, for most of us in North America we have no sense of what our now annual fires, floods, and disasters related to climate will ultimately mean in the long run. We face a new era of food insecurity and potential starvation that we have never seen in modern times. The complexity of these problems means we must be proactive if we are to have a chance of mitigating their effects. We must break the beliefs that have been shaped over modern decades of how agriculture "should" be done and embrace new approaches such as cellular agriculture that break the boundaries across multiple disciplines and ideas.
