Cultivated Meat is
real meat,
made without killing animals.
Nature’s most elemental building blocks - cells - are cultivated to become true animal products without the need to raise and slaughter animals.
Cultivated meat is creating a relationship that respects both animals and the planet . It unlocks the same foods that have been consumed around the world for thousands of years.

Cultivated meat follows the
same process that happens in an animal's body.
Growing animal cells outside of animals.
Step 1
ISOLATE
Take a one-time, harmless biopsy from a single farm animal and isolate cells with ideal properties for cultivated meat. These properties include the ability to rapidly grow and differentiate into the desired product. In theory, only one biopsy is ever needed for unlimited cultivated meat production.
Step 2
FEED
Just as farm animals need to be fed, cells need nutrients to grow and double. Cells in a cultivated meat system are fed nutrients like vitamins, sugars, salts, and proteins, the same as their host animals would consume on a farm. The cells consume these nutrients in a mixture called cellular media. This media is provided to cells in a Cell Cultivator, a warm, controlled environment like the one above where cells can consume the nutrients they need to multiply.
Step 3
SPECIFY
The cells then go to another controlled environment called a Product Cultivator, where they undergo a process called differentiation that allows them to form into their mature cell types such as muscle, fat, skin, or bone. This process includes the use of a scaffolding system that provides structure and direction to the cells, ultimately allowing them to merge into complete tissues.
Step 4
HARVEST
After the cells fuse into tissues, they undergo final processing steps and are ready to become their final animal product. The example above shows cow muscle cells merging to become ground beef, and a more complicated process, where muscle cells, fat cells, and connective tissue merge to create a steak. After rigorous testing for safety and quality, a true animal product as we know them today is ready to be harvested.
