The episode features Dr. Alexander Samoylov, a Principal Research Scientist at GTRI, who shares insights into this project, which aims to reshape the poultry industry's approach to transport and processing.

Hosted by GTRI's Stephanie Richter, the episode delved into the FPAT project's origins, objectives, and groundbreaking innovations. "The current poultry transport process has been largely unchanged for decades. We asked ourselves if we started to design the process now, would we do it the same way?" said Alex. "Our collective response was that it is time to reimagine how broiler transport works, and our FPAT system has a chance to do exactly that."
