Lisa Dyson is the founder and CEO of Air Protein, a company creating meat alternatives from elements in the air—carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and water—eliminating the need for traditional agriculture.
By reducing reliance on animal farming, which drives 14.5% of global emissions, Air Protein helps fight hunger and cut carbon pollution. Last year, Dyson expanded production at the company’s San Leandro facility, supplying air-based chicken and seafood to major retailers and schools, and launched an initiative to mentor women and BIPOC founders in climate tech. She was named a Bloomberg New Economy Catalyst and featured on the AFROTECH Future 50 list.
