What is Cellular Agriculture?
Cellular agriculture is an emerging and innovative technology for the production of agricultural products, like meat, dairy, and other animal-derived products, without the need for traditional farming and its consequences for animals.
Cultivated Meat vs. Precision Fermentation
In cellular agriculture, the two main branches are cultivated meat and precision fermentation. Cultivated meat uses animal cells such as muscle cells to produce meat substitutes, while precision fermentation uses microorganisms like yeast or bacteria to produce food ingredients or supplements. As a bioprocessing solution provider, we offer comprehensive support for both cultivated meat and precision fermentation, addressing the unique needs of each process.
Bioprocessing challenges in Cellular Agriculture
Cellular agriculture holds promise for addressing various challenges associated with conventional animal agriculture, such as environmental impact, animal welfare, and resource consumption. However, it also faces several challenges of its own. Learn how we can support:
