Mission Responsible Podcast: Mission 6 - Food

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

Agents - according to Professor Susan Jebb, Professor of Diet and Population Health at the University of Oxford, “we cannot meet Net Zero targets without changing our diet”.

To discover how responsible engineering can help grow the food of the future, we’ve asked Agent Somara to get the lowdown on a company creating sushi-grade salmon without growing any fish(?). Meanwhile, Agent Clark must use his very best puns to infiltrate a farm using tech to grow food faster with less water, pesticides and fertiliser.

PLUS what happens when Grieg Cameron from ‘D’ Brand puts our team through a sustainable snack taste test?
