Summary

Dr. Lisa Dyson is the founder and CEO of Air Protein, a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer company that is reinventing how food is produced in order to sustainably feed the global population, which is estimated to reach 10 billion people by 2050. Air Protein uses an innovative process that makes meat from elements of the air. In this conversation with Stanford Professor Tom Byers, Dyson discusses how her company is finding a totally new process to create a familiar product, and how innovations like these are part of solving climate change.

0:13.0	I am delighted, and just to get ahead of this,
0:17.0	because I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
0:20.0	I get to say, Lisa Dyson's here.
