The global protein crisis is here and science may have just delivered an unexpected solution: a gene-edited fungus that uses 44% less sugar, grows 88% faster, produces clean, complete protein, and still tastes remarkably like meat.
In this episode of the Orange Pill Podcast, we dive into groundbreaking new research on Fusarium venenatum, the same fungus behind mycoprotein, and explore how a precise, “scarless” CRISPR edit is reshaping the sustainability, nutrition, and future potential of alternative proteins.
From environmental impact to regulatory acceptance to consumer perception, this episode explores how fungi, and gene-edited foods more broadly, may redefine the future of protein on a warming planet.
