We've seen the future of meat, and it's plants

ReInventors is a show that features scientists, inventors, and tinkerers in the Pacific Northwest who are working to create a more sustainable future. You'll meet folks who are reimagining the basic elements of our everyday lives - where we live, what we eat, the way we get to work.

We've seen the future of meat, and it's plants

Season 1 Episode 7 | 4m 48s | CC
