Synthetic meat

At the 2023 World Economic Forum, Snabe envisaged that one billion people should "stop eating meat" to combat climate change. 

"If a billion people stop eating meat, I tell you, it has a big impact. Not only does it have a big impact on the current food system, but it will also inspire innovation of food systems." He was "inspired" by his 24-year-old daughter who asked him how he could advocate for "zero carbon value chains" and still eat meat products. 

Snabe noted the math says one person quitting meat for 11 years would only compensate for one flight to Thailand, but if billions did the same thing it would spur massive change. In a major prediction, he also claimed that the world will have access to other proteins in the future that will taste "even better" than meat and knocked companies that try and "mimic" the qualities of chicken and beef. "They will be zero carbon and much healthier than the kind of food we eat today," he said.
