What Is Cultivated Meat?
Technology improves our lives in many ways, and that includes food production! One of the newest innovations in food technology is "cultivated meat," which uses animal cells to create real meat, all without raising animals for food. What is Cultivated Meat? is an introduction to the process of creating cultivated meat and the major benefits it holds for future food production. Created in partnership with the Good Food Institute. Check out our entire ECP + GFI Food Innovation Series for information on other food innovations and ways you can get involved in solutions.
