As the world’s population grows larger and richer, there is a rapidly increasing demand for meat. Can we meet this demand in a sustainable way? Will technologies such as genetically modified animals have a role to play in future meat production? Are there any ways to reduce global meat consumption?

Catherine de Lange (New Scientist) chairs the debate at our 26th TalkScience event with Professor Helen Sang (Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh), Vicki Hird (Friends of the Earth) and Professor Richard Tiffin (Centre for Food Security, University of Reading).
