Biotech: The future of food

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Biotech: The future of food

How technology is re-engineering the food on our plate

How biotechnology is re-engineering the food on our plate.

Would you feel better tucking into a juicy steak knowing that the cow it comes from is still happily living out its life in a field somewhere? Biotechnology could make that possible.

Manuela Saragosa hears from Shannon Falconer at pet food maker Because Animals, who grows real meat in a lab. Jon McIntyre at Motif FoodWorks explains how new technology has made his plant-based products tastier. We also hear from Tony Seba at the think tank, Rethink X. He believes we'll be designing food like software in the future.

Producer: Laurence Knight.
