Very excited that “Rethinking Food & Agriculture”, the new report from @rethink_x I co-authored with @tonyseba is out! The inevitable collapse of the livestock industry brought about by a protein disruption driven by economics. Download it here: rethinkx.com/food-and-agricu…

I really recommend this piece by @CatherineTubb on the story & initial reactions to "artificial ice," which of course we know now as just "ice" Lots of parallels to "lab-grown meat" synthesis.capital/insights/w…

Another cracking post by @_HannahRitchie The end of range anxiety: how has the range of electric cars changed over time? "These factors combined are why I predict the transition to electric cars will happen much faster than people expect" open.substack.com/pub/hannah…

In my newest piece I discuss some of the milestones we need to think about along the adoption S curve! synthesis.capital/insights/w…
The plant-based sector is expected to reach price parity in production around 2026-2027 and then, with costs lower, it would reach a 10% ‘tipping point’ around 2032-2035. This comes from @Synthesis_Cap and @CatherineTubb and is substantiated by @BBGIntelligence and @BCG.

What can the history of disruptions tells us about future ones? In this article, I explore what led to "artificial" ice disrupting "natural" ice in the 19th century, and what parallels we can draw for alternative protein adoption today. synthesis.capital/insights/w…

Completely agree with this - this is a supply driven disruption not demand. We wrote about this at length in the RethinkX report!
Unpopular opinion: we're wasting a lot of time caring about public opinion of cultivated meat Why do I believe this? 🧵

My new blog on Zombie Data out now:

In 2019 @CatherineTubb told me to assume there would be US approval of cell-based meats in 2022 rethinkx.com/food-and-agricu… Now, Eat Just CEO “anticipates the US regulatory hurdle for selling cultivated meat will be cleared within the next six to 12 months” forbes.com/sites/douglasyu/2…
