Erel Margalit, leading foodtech investor, joins CBS to discuss the urgent need for innovation in sustainable food production. In an interview, he highlights the environmental impact of traditional animal agriculture, noting its significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and excessive resource consumption. Margalit advocates for the development of “clean meat,” a lab-grown alternative that eliminates the need for animal slaughter while maintaining nutritional value. He underscores the shift in consumer preferences, particularly among younger generations, towards ethical and sustainable food sources, positioning food technology as a critical solution to global environmental challenges.
