Hi members!
Our field guide in full
We’re wrapping up our week on the future of food and Israel’s central role in that future. Today, we have a Q&A with Didier Toubia, CEO of Aleph Farms, which is attempting to make meat from cell cultures. Unlike many other players in the cultured-meat space, hoever, Aleph is not aiming to create ground-beef products, but whole cuts of meat, like steaks.
If you missed anything this week, here’s what we covered:
- Our state of play memo laid the groundwork for understanding the many food startups in Israel.
- We looked at how Israel has innovated its way out of a water-shortage crisis—and how it’s exporting that know-how.
- We met a man who is trying to reduce the amount of sugar in our foods by engineering something more efficient.
- We explored how Israeli engineers are addressing the colony collapse occurring among bees, by helping us understand bee colonies and by developing artificial ways to pollinate plants.
