Happy Monday! Sorry for the hiatus - family vacation! Next time I'll try to schedule in advance but if you've ever gone on a cross-country road trip with 3 kids under 7 you might understand why you didn't hear from me. Onto the stories including 3D printed meat, alt-pork, and insect protein.
As always, I would love feedback (and for you to forward these emails). Reply to this email or take a 60-second survey. Have something I should read? Submit a link!
Thanks!

🚗 Is agriculture ripe for a Tesla moment?
While investors, big producers, and progressive farmers are getting on board, we’re a far cry from seeing sophisticated technologies like computer vision, robotics, data science, and machine learning make the critical leap from the labs to ordinary farm fields.
At stake is more than just market share. Like the automobile industry before it, farming desperately needs a digital overhaul to remain sustainable in the face of a growing global population and climate change. The question is: What’s it going to take for AgTech to have its Tesla moment?

🍣 The Future of Food: Amazing Lab Grown And 3D Printed Meat And Fish
When Professor Mark Post created the first lab-grown burger in 2013 by using about 20,000 strands of protein, food critics who tasted it weren’t repulsed, but there was a lot to figure out before lab-grown meat would be a viable meat alternative for the masses.
🐖 Agriculture Secretary Behind Livestock Industry Push to Change FDA Oversight on Gene Editing
NPPC leaders said that an executive order should require FDA to reconsider its regulatory regime around gene editing. Speaking at an event Sunday in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told farmers that USDA should have at least some oversight of gene-edited animals.
🎙 3D Printed Plant-Based Food From Deep Space To A Wholefoods Near You
Imagine ordering a Wagu steak with a smoky flavor from Wholefoods, or having a doctor prescribe you exact 3D food printed details on a prescription.
🌿 Special report: Weed, Inc.
Venture capitalists are investing record sums in marijuana startups, growing twice as fast as 2018. Why it matters: These investments are a bet that marijuana will be legalized in the U.S. at the federal level, as it has been in Canada.
