title = "The second domestication of dairy and beef: Food 2.0 proteins without the animals",
abstract = "What is the future of food production as we enter the era that is being called Food 2.0? The development of animal-free milk is likely to decimate the traditional dairy industry within a decade, and plant-based meat is set to up-end the beef market. On one set of projections, this new biotechnology puts us on the cusp of the deepest, fastest, most consequential disruption in food and agricultural production since the first domestication of plants and animals 10,000 years ago. This biotech revolution or the {\textquoteleft}second domestication{\textquoteright} refers to microorganisms and technologies of {\textquoteleft}precision fermentation{\textquoteright} which seem to presage the 2020s as the decade of the {\textquoteleft}peak cow{\textquoteright}.",
