Food Meets Climate Podcast with Simon Newstead

Fresh from a $55 million series B fund raise, v2 is on a journey to bring a second version of meat into the mainstream. Backed by Australia’s leading scientific body CSIRO and Jack Cowin, owner of the Burger King franchise in Australia, the company’s mission is to turn the tide on animal agriculture through the production of a sustainable alternative. In this week’s episode we speak with Nick Hazell, CEO and founder of v2 about the inspiration behind the venture, whether or not price parity is the goal, product iteration, future plans to expand into Asia, and Nick’s personally favourite moments in the journey so far.
