On Aug. 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina tore into the Gulf Coast with gusting winds of 175 miles per hour – and a storm surge of 26 feet. Lisa Dyson, who had spent her childhood summers near New Orleans, had just earned her PhD from MIT when the news broke. After witnessing the devastation, she was motivated to dedicate her scientific career to working on solutions to the climate crisis. Dyson is now the founder of Air Protein, a startup (with $100 million in backing) that makes nutrient-dense food in a lab setting. She takes us on a tour of her Oakland, California, facility. We also speak with meteorologist Bernadette Woods Placky of Climate Central, who tells us why, exactly, extreme weather is happening more. "We have to speed up the solutions and slow down the warming," she says. "Our future really isn't determined yet."

Maisie Ganzler has never worked at an animal welfare charity nor an alt-protein company. Yet she's in the upper echelon of effectiveness when it comes to reducing the suffering of farmed animals. That's because she's served as an executive of a national food management company supplying 1,000 schools and corporate dining facilities, Bon Appetit Management Company, for decades. In her career, Maisie pioneered some of the first-ever corporate policies to require suppliers to stop using battery cages for laying hens and gestation crates for breeding pigs, meat reduction policies, and a whole host of other important animal welfare and sustainability initiatives. When Bon Appetit would implement a policy like those mentioned, it was often seen as leading edge at the time, yet eventually would become the norm among food service companies. For example, Bon Appetit's 2005 cage-free egg policy would come to be adopted by McDonald's a decade later. Maisie even ran for McDonald's board of directors, backed by billionaire Carl Icahn, a campaign she writes that the fast food company spent $16 million to defeat. While she didn't make it onto McDonald's board, Maisie does sit on the board of directors of an alt-protein company called Air Protein, whose CEO Lisa Dyson has been a guest on this show before! So it was with great pleasure that I learned that Maisie has come out with her first book, which is part autobiography and part guide for others on how to create meaningful change in our food and agricultural system. The book, which just recently came out, is called You Can't Market Manure at Lunchtime: And Other Lessons from the Food Industry for Creating a More Sustainable Company. I read it and found it both informational, inspirational, and entertaining. What more could you want? Well, maybe you'd want to hear Maisie's story straight from her rather than from me, so enjoy this conversation with a true pioneer for animals, farm workers, and everyone who wants to build a better food system. Discussed in this episode Josh Balk worked with Maisie on many animal welfare policies, and now runs The Accountability Board. David Benzaquen was a student who in 2005 helped catalyze Bon Appetit's cage-free policy, and who now is an executive in the plant-based food industry. Maisie discusses the difficulties implementing the Better Chicken Commitment, leading Compassion in World Farming to extend its deadline for compliance. You can read more in CIWF's 2023 Chicken Track paper. Maisie recommends reading Civil Eats and the NRA Smart Brief. Our past episode with Resetting the Table author Robert Paarlberg. Walker Hayes' song Fancy Like has 146 million YouTube views, so it's not just Maisie and Paul who like it. More about Maisie Ganzler Maisie Ganzler is the go-to expert on how companies can make positive change in supply chains and other entrenched systems. She's been interviewed by leading media outlets including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, Fast Company, and Bloomberg, spoken at conferences around the world, written thought leadership pieces for Forbes, Huffington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle and is frequently called upon for strategic counsel by start-ups and big business alike. As Chief Strategy & Brand Officer for Bon Appetit Management Company, a $1.7 billion onsite restaurant company with 1,000-plus cafés at corporations, universities, and cultural institutions in 33 states serving more than 250 million meals per year, Maisie tackled local purchasing, antibiotics in meat production, sustainable seafood, humane care of farm animals, climate change, farmworkers' rights, and food waste, positioning the company as the foodservice industry's undisputed leader in sustainable purchasing and holistic wellness. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration.

“Right now the process is so inefficient to make a steak. It takes two years to make a steak and the greenhouse gases from a cow is equivalent to a car. So it's hugely more inefficient than it needs to be. It's way past time to be redone, for us to figure out new ways to do it. We're focused at Air Protein on making meat in a matter of hours and not days. Making it using the most sustainable processes on the planet. Making it highly nutritious and of course still delivering the flavors that my husband, a meat eater, wants to experience when biting into a juicy steak. ” -Lisa Dyson, Founder and CEO, Air ProteinLisa Dyson is Founder and CEO of Air Protein (@AirProtein). Air Protein is a Bay Area based company that is working to reverse climate change and address food scarcity by making meat from elements of the air. Using a technology inspired by NASA, Air Protein makes the world's first air-based meat - using less land, water and other natural resources for the most sustainable meat on the planet. Lisa has a PhD in Physics from MIT, and was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of London, where she received an MS in Physics with an emphasis in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces, and has degrees in Mathematics and Physics from Brandeis University.

While Leadership Next enjoys an extended Fourth of July holiday, check out this episode of Fortune's Brainstorm podcast - a weekly podcast which examines how tech is reshaping our world. Like what you hear? Subscribe here! In this episode, which originally aired in May, hosts Michal Lev-Ram and Brian O'Keefe look at Silicon Valley's efforts to perfect a delicious meat alternative. There are more plant-based meats on the market than ever before. But startups are increasingly using other methods to develop alternative proteins too - and investors are flocking to support their efforts. Today's Brainstorm podcast is all about these alternative meats: the case for developing them, how Silicon Valley is embracing the challenge, who is most interested in backing these companies and - perhaps most importantly - how do they taste? Fortune senior writer Beth Kowitt wrote her first big feature on the industry in 2017 and has been following it closely ever since. She gives Brian O'Keefe and Michal Lev-Ram an industry overview. Kowitt also interviews Lisa Dyson, the founder and CEO of Air Protein. A young company that - yes - aims to make alternative protein from the elements found in air. Finally, hear from Sharyn Murray of The Good Food Institute. She has a slew of data about who is investing in this industry and where the money's going - plus an interesting argument that the government should be playing a larger role in encouraging the adoption of meatless meat.

You already know about plant-based meat. You’re also familiar with meat grown from animal cells, often called cultivated meat or clean meat. But have you ever heard of making protein—and therefore the building blocks of meat—straight out of thin air? Dr. Lisa Dyson was reading 1960s-era NASA research about how to feed astronauts on long-distance cosmic trips, when something truly out of this world caught her attention. Of course, on long-distance cosmic tourist trips, we’ll need ways for astronauts not only to conserve food they’ve brought from our home planet, but also to produce food on-board. As a result, NASA at the time was exploring growing protein not from animals or plants, but right out of thin air. Sound like science fiction? Well, half a century later, Lisa and her team at Air Protein are already doing it, and they’ve recently even made what she called “air-based chicken.” The photos of the air-based meat look truly delectable. Lisa asserts that her air protein takes a tiny fraction of the resources needed to produce even plant protein, which is a driving force motivating her to commercialize her air-based meat in the near-term. Her goal: help save the planet and the animals who call it home, including us Homo sapiens.
