this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. this week we have plenty of stomach to what your appetite. we are in singapore to taste the future with the start of pink gold, followed by your main course. this is my first ever taste of cultivated

chicken. there is a special 50th birthday treat as we chatted a man who made the first mobile phone cord. and thatis first mobile phone cord. and that is that an internet legend tells us what it was like to be part of the twitter takeover. i really did get to see what was happening right in the thick of it. it happening right in the thick of it. , ., , , , it. it is hot, it is bustling, it. it is hot, it is bustling, it is intense. _ it. it is hot, it is bustling, it is intense. welcome i it. it is hot, it is bustling, it is intense. welcome to| it is intense. welcome to singapore. i have come to a citystate that is home to more than 5 million people and it just 50 kilometres wide and less than 140 kilometres from the equator, this place feels like it is at the centre of everything. east meets west year, nature meets future. this is a thriving financial hub that seems to be doing pretty well for itself. when you think
1:32 am
of singapore you might think of the tropical climate or all of the tropical climate or all of the greenery, or even the critical architecture. everyone i know he lives here say it is a pretty nice life. but this tiny island nation does face its challenges. land is at a premium here. i need to import pretty much everything. —— may need. although it will interdependent the melting pot of different cuisines and cultures, it is a reminder that 90% of singapore's food is grown and farmed elsewhere. singapore is a very small countries even imagine if we don't have the same amount of land to grow many of the crops or animals need to feed ourselves particularly when we see how food supply chains have been stressed, whether it's because of climate change, geopolitical considerations or pandemics. but geopolitical considerations or pandemics-— geopolitical considerations or andemics. �* , ., pandemics. but being so small has its advantages _ pandemics. but being so small has its advantages as - pandemics. but being so small has its advantages as well. - has its advantages as well. singapore plasma government can make quick decisions, acting

1:35 am
is lactoferrin. it's been called pink gold. pink because of the iron and gold because it is rare and expensive. but this company, total tree, is finalising a way of mass—producing it, not from cows are not even from cow cells. no, they are fermenting it. using yeast.— it. using yeast. the process is similar to _ it. using yeast. the process is similar to brewing. _ it. using yeast. the process is similar to brewing. these - it. using yeast. the process is similar to brewing. these are | similar to brewing. these are large fermentation tax that will be culturing the yeast cells and each of those cells acts like a little factory, basically producing lactoferrin.- basically producing lactoferrin. , . , lactoferrin. the secret here is the yeast _ lactoferrin. the secret here is the yeast has _ lactoferrin. the secret here is the yeast has been _ lactoferrin. the secret here is| the yeast has been genetically modified. a total tree has taken the genes from cow dna that are responsible for making lactoferrin and transplanting them into the dna of yeast cells. find the right strain of yeast, brought in the right conditions you have yourself something called precision fermentation. with these

drinks and of course plant based milk like oat and almond milk. all without the need for animals all the land for grazing and feeding them. now the company has cracked lactoferrin, it started to open other proteins that are normally found milk which could then be added to other things that are not milk.— that are not milk. there will be people. _ that are not milk. there will be people, consumers, - that are not milk. there will be people, consumers, for. that are not milk. there will- be people, consumers, for whom this sounds like a natural. what would you say to them? even though it is not coming directly from carl's milk, it is the same routine. what we are showing is that it is so similar and there is so much experience with cow's milk derived lactoferrin, we are showing that this is structurally the same and functionally the same. so we're going for a glittery process called generally recognised as safe. authority in the food system and we are already consuming it. interestingly, if ou want consuming it. interestingly, if you want to — consuming it. interestingly, if you want to make _ consuming it. interestingly, if you want to make milk -

to make the muscle grow in a dish stop you know, if i'm able to produce for you a hamburger but you have to pay six times more for it, you probably will actually prefer an animal —based product, right? so we have taken a large part of the cost out of actually ultimately producing cell —based meat. we have taken it out. whereas, this serum comes at a good price so we are able to reduce it into a range that most people can probably afford. but makin: people can probably afford. but making cultivated meat as affordable as normal meat doesn't guarantee that people will accept it. tt doesn't guarantee that people will accept it.— will accept it. if you look across history, - will accept it. if you look across history, for - will accept it. if you look i across history, for example, humanity has a braced many —— embraced many things that are unnatural, like yoghurts. now y°93 unnatural, like yoghurts. now yogais unnatural, like yoghurts. now yoga is seen in every corner of the world and every supermarket shelf. i think about the same analogy four cultivated meat. the company that sells this
