In the accelerating culture we are in now, where messages are repeated and information loses its depth, a counterpoint exists. “That counterpoint is, I believe, an increasing desire for the natural world—the tactile, the earth—a kind of sense of actually experiencing something on a physical level, not on a synthetic level,” says artist Doug Aitken.

New Horizon, his latest art piece, exists and moves within our natural space, reflecting the physical landscape, and our experience within it. Over the last few weeks, it has been making a journey across Massachusetts, with various stops along the way that serve to hold space for conversations between scientists and artists about the future of our environment.

Inspired directly from the terrain making us reflect on art in relation to the landscape itself, New Horizon by @dougaitkenworkshop is centered around a stunning reflective hot air balloon that has travelled across the state of Massachusetts.

This week, we've been highlighting the women who are doing trailblazing cellular agriculture work and showing that there's room for more talents to get involved with the field.

Broader changes are needed for women so that they don’t just enter scientific fields, but are also able to stick around and thrive. “I hope more women will be inspired enough by the pioneers of our generation to become pioneers themselves,” says Finless Foods’ Jennifer Tung.

Ethical, environmental impact-free animal proteins could be the future of food, with cutting-edge researchers in academia and at start ups leading the charge. Within that, women founders, CEOs, and investors in the field are incredibly instrumental: There ought to be more, but the talents already making waves deserve to be known.

This week we are spotlighting a variety of exceptionally talented women leading the charge for food that’s kinder to animals and the planet.

Compared to other science fields, biology attracts the greatest numbers of women in grad school and academia: There’s a 50/50 split between male and female biology grad students and 40% of biology post-docs are female, per a 2014 MIT study.

One biology-adjacent field that seems to be attracting a strong presence of women pioneers is cellular agriculture (aka cell ag to those in the know)—an area of science is dedicated to creating so-called clean or cultured meat.

The process involves taking cells from an animal and culturing them outside the animal’s body so that they divide in a controlled environment. Just think, a future where omnivores will be able to enjoy beef burgers, sausages, chicken nuggets that do not derive from a slaughtered animal.

So this week we’re tipping our hats to the new class of scientists and entrepreneurs who are carving out the future of clean meat. 👆🏽Check out our stories for more.

While vertical farming and the movement toward small-scale ecologically regenerative farming both have desire to feed local communities and grow produce without harmful chemicals, others are trying to apply even more advanced technological innovations.

Still, technology alone can’t solve an impending food crisis. “Policy should be performance-based. Outcomes matter, not which technology you’re using,” says AeroFarms’ CEO David Rosenberg.

Whether it's farms that are returning to traditional agricultural methods or advanced practices, one thing is certain: policy change is ultimately needed to turn things around.

While vertical farms eliminate soil completely, others are turning back to soil health and returning to more "natural" farming methods—like @Singingfrogfarm in California.

Since transitioning entirely to a highly intensive, ecologically beneficial, no-till soil management system in 2011, “we are bringing in 10 to 20 times more [revenue per acre] than other farms,” says @elizabethakaiser.

Their high production three-acre farm feeds around 350 local families each year while bringing back healthy population of pollinators, beneficial insect and vertebrates, allowing the Kaisers to grow vegetables without pesticides.

As a result, “Our children can run through our fields eating whatever they want, whenever they want, something that is not always possible even on a certified organic farm.”

9.8 billion people will live on Earth in 2050. This projection marks a 34% population increase from today’s 7.3 billion headcount and raises the dire question: Will there be enough food?

To tackle this challenge while avoiding #deforestation and plateauing agriculture yields, breakthroughs in #agricultural science and technology, policy incentives for farmers to conserve resources, and greater awareness among consumers could potentially prevent a global food crisis.

Some are placing their bets on indoor farming that cuts out soil altogether. David Rosenberg, cofounder and CEO of @AeroFarms, has converted former industrial buildings into the world’s largest #verticalfarm and the first commercial #aeroponics production facility.

Within these walls, air-exposed roots are misted with a solute made of water, dissolved oxygen, and essential macro and micro nutrients, including carbon, nitrogen, iron, and other elements. It’s deconstructing the essential functions of soil and sunlight, thereby hacking the process to successfully grown plants without soil and sun.

Through aeroponics, AeroFarms uses 95% less water than a commercial field farm while achieving 390 times the productivity per square foot.

When we think of genome editing, what often comes to mind is visions of a dystopian future in which engineered superhumans rule over the teeming masses—but this is not visible on the horizon any time soon.

Recent advances in cellular biology have only underscored the extent to which the social sciences, public policy, and the law, have much more work to do before clinical germline engineering is used in a widespread context.

But if it does, Charo recommends us to look to history for comfort. From IVF, to genetic disease screening, to the ill-advised “Nobel Prize Sperm Bank,” any time the vision of “designer babies,” or any undue human interference in our progeny, has reared its head, society has generally opted to defer to nature as much as possible.

In 2017, Alta Charo led a group to produce a report that would essentially form the U.S. scientific community’s official position on human gene editing ethics, and was the first to outline, that as a matter of principle, germline edits—changes to DNA in reproductive cells that would be passed to all that person’s descendants—is not wrong.

Still, the report identifies a number of key ethical challenges before clinical trials could go forward: would future generations be denied a human right to decide if they wanted their genes meddled with? Does this undermine the unique quality that makes us human? How could this be used to exacerbate class, economic, or other divisions based on physical characteristics or health?

In August 2017, a group of biologists led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov reported that they had carried out the first-ever experiment in the U.S. to edit the genes of a human embryo. They did so in an attempt to use the cutting-edge genetic engineering technology known as CRISPR to correct a mutation associated with the heritable condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a common cause of heart failure in young people. Mitalipov reported that his technique fixed the mutation in 70% of embryos used in the trial.
〰️
The news created a widespread debate within the scientific community, forcing some ethicists to reconsider longstanding stigmas about human gene editing. Was Mitalipov's experiment the first step toward a future filled with "designer babies"?
〰️
“When things become technically feasible,” says Alta Charo, bioethicist at the University of Wisconsin Law School and a leading expert on the ethics of human genetic engineering, “you have to confront whether you’re willing to lose the benefit because of some principled objection.”
