The call comes on the heels of Gates’ book release,
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, in which Gates proposes a wide-range of what he calls a “practical–and accessible–plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.”
Is Going Plant-Based the Solution to Climate Change?
But are plant-based and lab-grown meats the complete solution? And should poor nations also switch to plant-based protein sources? In an interview with MIT Technology Review, Gates answers these questions. For now, his answer is No, or at least not entirely. He aslo doesn’t believe that the poorest 80 countries can be expected to move to what he calls “synthetic meat” any time soon.
