#Patent publications by European alternative #protein innovators increased by 960% since 2015, but important areas (e.g. #plantbreeding of better protein crops to provide raw ingredients for #plantbased products) remain neglected. Few #patents are published on cultivated #meat & precision #fermentation, and just 1% of patents relates to alternative #seafood, highlighting need for more research: https://gfieurope.org/blog/report-european-alternative-protein-patents-jump-by-960-in-10-years/ #innovation #research #cleanmeat #cultivatedmeat #precisionfermentation

(3/x) #Plant-based alternatives & #cultivatedmeat benefit public #health & #foodsecurity, and can be produced with less #resources and a much smaller #carbon footprint; even #emissions from lowest-impact #meat, #dairy, aquaculture & #eggs exceed those of plant-based proteins: https://doi.org/10.1787/97c4041a-en

Cultivated #meat offers the potential of highly palatable products with a #nutrition profile possibly even superior to conventional #meat and continuous innovations at every stage of #cultivatedmeat production to enhance quality & reduce costs... (1/2) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tifs.2024.104838

Review: #Climate & ecological health are linked to #agriculture and—given rising food demand—require sustainable #protein production. #Research must address #knowledge gaps before #cultivatedmeat can become a viable alternative to animal-based #meat production: https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01061-3 #sustainable

Congrats to Aleph Farms for being the 3rd company to receive regulatory approval for #cultivatedmeat

Key things to know:
- 1st approval in Israel
- 1st for cultivated beef
- 1st entirely animal-free process (no serum)

My favorite sci-fi passage on this (from Frederick Pohl's The Space Merchants) -- where in the future, people eat pieces of a giant piece of cultivated meat called "Chicken Little". Washed down with something called "Coffiest". #ChickenLittle #SciFi #Pohl #CultivatedMeat

Will #labgrown #meat ever make it onto supermarket shelves?
"2/5 Americans claim to restrict their meat consumption on environmental grounds .. the cost of #cultivatedmeat is still around 5X tt of its farm-grown counterpart. Firms are trying to get tt number down. Amy Chen, COO at Upside Foods, says tt her firm has found cells tt don't need external growth factors, cutting costs significantly"
@TheEIU focused on costs & environmental concerns: what about health & #safety?

Cultivated meat is a ‘promising’ space food for astronauts, ESA says.

Development of cultivated meat, i.e. actual animal meat that’s grown in bioreactors from stem cells, has been gaining traction in recent years.

Over the past year, the European Space Agency (ESA) has been exploring whether cultivated meat can be a viable food option in space, used as a protein source that can be produced in situ.

Cultivated #meat can be #kosher & #halal if its cells are derived in compliance with religious standards. It is derived from animal cells grown in steel vats, without land-intensive #farming operations & slaughterhouses: https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/lab-grown-meat-can-be-kosher-halal-experts-say-2023-09-11/ #cultivatedmeat #cleanmeat #landuse
