📺 The latest World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report confirms that 2024 was the first full year where global temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The effects are undeniable: 🔹 Record-high CO₂ levels—the highest in 800,000 years. 🔹 Ocean heat content at record levels for the eighth consecutive year. 🔹 Sea level rise accelerating, doubling since satellite measurements began. Our food system plays a crucial role in this crisis. Traditional dairy production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, and water waste. At Senara, we believe the future of dairy can be delicious, nutritious, and sustainable—without harming the planet.   Climate-friendly solutions exist—it's time to scale them. Let’s rethink dairy for a sustainable future. 🌱 Clare Nullis World Meteorological Organization #ClimateAction #SustainableDairy #FutureOfFood https://lnkd.in/eZYUEv3A

Real Dairy milk without traditional dairy farming? This idea might sound counterintuitive, but it is exactly what German startup Senara GmbH is turning into reality by developing a process to create authentic milk from cultured milk cells - no factory farming, no methane emissions and no need for vast amounts of farming land! orl How does it work? 🤔 🔬 Cell cultivation - Whilest minimizing animal intervention, milk-producing cells are being directly isolated from the cows milk itself 🧫 Growth in Bioreactors - Placed in bioreactors the cells are provided with optimal conditions and nourished wit essential nutrients, allowing them to naturally produce mire milk - just as they would inside a cow 🥛The Final Product - The milk harvested from this process contains the same proteins, fats and nutrients as conventional dairy milk! Furthermore, it's composition can be adjusted to be lactose-free or more enhanced in certain nutritional contents Why is this a Big Deal? 🚀 🌱Sustainability - Producing milk without cows could drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions, lower water usage and reduce deforestaion due to large-scale cattle farming 🛡️Health and Safety - No added growth hormones, antibiotics or bacterial contamination 🐄 Cruelty-Free - The process eliminates the need for dairy farms, offering a real dairy alternative without animal exploitation 🌍Is lab-grown milk the future? How will the dairy industry have to change and evolve? Would you drink this milk? We'd love to hear your thoughts! 👇 #sustainability #technology #ProgressFaktors

“My grandparents’ dairy cows roamed freely. Today’s intensive farms look nothing like that,” says Svenja Dannewitz Prosseda, CEO of Senara GmbH. Her company is pioneering cultivated milk—a real dairy alternative that eliminates methane emissions and could reach price parity with farmed milk by 2028.   Read Alex Crisp’s latest article in The World of Food Ingredients, where he takes a deep dive into this game-changing innovation here: https://lnkd.in/gkUm_9Hg   #FoodInnovation #FoodTechnology #Sustainability #Farming #Dairy

𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐤𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐚 🥛🐄 Wie stehen Privatkund:innen zu Milch, die durch eine nachhaltige und tierfreundliche Zellkultivierung gewonnen wird? Würden sie diese Milch konsumieren und herkömmlicher Milch vorziehen? Diese Fragen hat sich das Startup Senara GmbH gestellt – und gemeinsam mit uns Antworten gefunden. Durch die nachhaltige Extraktion von Inhaltsstoffen aus frischer Milch und den Einsatz energieeffizienter Bioreaktoren schafft Senara eine tierfreundliche Alternative zur klassischen Milchproduktion. Ein umweltfreundlicher und innovativer Ansatz! 🌍🐄 🔍 Im Customer Insight Lab des BadenCampus haben wir gemeinsam: ✅ Einen hypothesenbasierten Fragebogen entwickelt ✅ Eine gezielte Umfrage mit zahlreichen Teilnehmer:innen durchgeführt ✅ Über unsere TestCommunity und Social Media die richtigen Personen erreicht ✅ Die gesammelten Daten in eine Ergebnispräsentation überführt 💬 "Die Ergebnisse unserer Umfrage haben uns wertvolle Einblicke in Verbraucherpräferenzen und Entscheidungsfaktoren vermittelt. Ein großes Dankeschön an BadenCampus für die großartige Zusammenarbeit!" – Dr. Svenja Dannewitz Prosseda, CEO von Senara Wir freuen uns, Senara bei diesem spannenden Vorhaben unterstützt zu haben und sind gespannt auf die nächsten Schritte. © Senara GmbH

Senara Milk is Nominated for the Earthshot Prize! 🌱🥛   We’re thrilled to share that Senara GmbH has been nominated for the prestigious The Earthshot Prize - an award that recognizes groundbreaking innovations addressing the planet’s biggest #environmental challenges. We're even prouder to announce that this nomination comes from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF-UK), a global leader in conservation and sustainability.   The WWF is dedicated to protecting our planet’s #biodiversity, combatting climate change, and promoting #sustainable food systems. Nominating Senara #Milk is recognition of the crucial role #cultivated dairy can play in reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint.   How Cultivated Milk Helps the Natural World   🌱 Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Cultivated milk offers a low-carbon alternative that helps tackle climate change. 💧 Reduced Water & Land Use – Producing milk without cows means drastically less water consumption and a smaller land footprint, freeing up ecosystems for rewilding and biodiversity restoration. 🦋 Protecting Wildlife – Deforestation for cattle grazing and feed production threatens wildlife habitats. A shift to cultivated dairy reduces the demand for farmland, protecting species at risk. 🐄 Kindness - A move to kinder dairy production.   A Future of Sustainable Dairy   The Earthshot Prize aims to accelerate solutions for a healthier #planet, and our nomination highlights the growing recognition of cultivated proteins as a game-changer for food sustainability. With global organizations like #WWF backing our innovation, the Future of Foods is looking brighter than ever.   We're excited to play our part in this cultivated protein movement. 🌍   #SustainableFood #CultivatedMilk #FutureOfFood #ClimateAction Kitty Garraway Sophia Sullivan Jason Knauf LVO Leanne Quille MSc Diego Martinez Schütt Vickie Richards Stephanie MacDonnell Sarah Halevy Ambika Hiranandani Antje Reens Svenja Dannewitz Prosseda Philipp P.
