Protein Production Technology Podcast

In this episode of Protein Production Technology International, Björn Örvar, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of a pioneering molecular farming company, discusses the evolution and potential of plant-based protein production. He explains how plants, particularly barley, can serve as natural biofactories for producing proteins essential for cultivated meat and other applications. Björn highlights the advantages of plant molecular farming, including lower production costs, scalability, and ecological containment, enabling large-scale outdoor cultivation. He also shares insights on the company’s long-standing expertise, its collaborative approach with cultivated meat startups, and efforts to drive down costs through simplified purification processes. Looking ahead, Björn envisions plant molecular farming playing a crucial role in the sustainable protein industry, accelerating innovation and reshaping how we produce proteins globally.
