 and beverages provided if in person.\n\nThis event is free and open to the
  public - sponsored by [IEEE Boston Consultants Network (CNET](https://www

  this event will max-out. Zoom limit of 100 registrants. In-person limit o
 f 100 registrants. You must be registered to attend this event. IEEE membe
 rs prioritized.\n\nPlease do not register if you are not sure you can atte

 gistration limit is reached. This website has one wait-list. We will manua
 lly sort the Zoom and in-person wait-list people and advise you what prior
 ity you are prior to the event.\n\nBruce Friedrich is author of the book: 
 Meat - How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Food.\n\nGood F
 ood Institute founder and president Bruce Friedrich offers a hopeful and r
 igorously researched exploration of how science\, policy\, and industry ca
 n work together to satisfy the world’s soaring demand for meat\, while b
 uilding a healthier and more sustainable world.\n\nWith a foreword by Cait
 lin Welsh\, director of global food and water security\, Center for Strate
 gic and International Studies\n\nThe human love of meat appears to be hard
 -wired. The world consumes more than 550 million metric tons of meat and s
 eafood each year. That number has set a new record every year since 1961 (
 the year FAO started tracking) and is expected to continue to rise through
  at least 2050.\n\nWhat if we could give humanity the meat it craves\, but
  produced differently? Plant-based and cultivated meat that are just as de
 licious as the meat humanity craves\, but more affordable and healthier.\n
 \nThink it’s not possible? With examples ranging from the “horseless c
 arriage” (car) to the smart phone in your pocket\, Meat reminds readers 
 that scientific innovations often move from disbelief or opposition to ine
 vitability and ubiquity\, much faster than almost anyone expects (chapter 
 8).\n\nEnvisioning a future where meat is both a delight and a force for g
 ood\, Friedrich explores:\n\n-\nhumanity’s 12\,000-year-old practice of 
 raising animals for meat\, and why we need to figure out a better way (cha
 pters 1-5).\n\n-\nthe science and scientists behind the efforts to create 
 plant-based and cultivated meat that is indistinguishable from conventiona
 l animal meat\, but less expensive\, more nutritious\, and safer (chapters
  6\, 7\, and 11).\n\n-\nhow plant-based and cultivated meat can alleviate 
 hunger and malnutrition\, mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss\, 
 and lower antimicrobial resistance and pandemic risk (chapters 1-4).\n\n-\
 nthe economic and food security benefits of making meat more efficiently\,
  which include trillions of dollars in economic output annually\, tens of 
 millions of good jobs\, and the possibility of a revitalized farm economy 
 (chapters 9-10).\n\nMeat offers a vision of the next agricultural revoluti
 on that is optimistic\, achievable\, and delicious.\n\nLinks:\n\nLink to B
