What does it take to produce the overabundance of food that constantly surrounds us? On this week’s show, we take a trip to Russia, where cowboys are being trained to wrangle a brand new beef industry. Then we go to the desert to look at the unexpected perks of farming fish in Arizona. Plus, we step behind the scenes of a lab that is trying to grow food in a petri dish.
You may be hungry listening to this episode, but you’ll walk away feeling full of knowledge.
