  • Five times 15.

  • Jack, thank you so much.

  • It's a real pleasure to be back with you.

  • And just let me see navigate the technology and share my screen.

  • And then I'm going to tell you about cultivated meat, how we can use it to secure our future.

  • So essentially, what's this all about?

  • Well, let's look to the sky for a moment and let me take you back to September 2019.

  • And 250 miles above the Earth, hurtling at 15,000 miles an hour,

  • the International Space Station was about to do something extraordinary.

  • It was about to produce the first beefsteak in space.

  • Only there was no cow.

  • What there was was crew members aboard the space station, One of them in a white T shirt,

  • looking remarkably underdressed for doing something so incredible as he poured stem cells

  • that had been blasted on a rocket ship into a nutrient soup to,

  • to produce the first 3D steak from cultivated meat.

  • This product, cultivated meat, is what it's what it sounds like it is,

  • producing meat, but without the animal.

  • Often called lab meat by the media,

  • it's something which could be a real game changer for the future of food.

  • Let me tell you why I see this as important.
