Cultivated meat is just normal meat, but way cooler. 🍽️🌱 Yes, it's grown from cells, but the taste? Indistinguishable from traditionally farmed meat. What's not normal is the positive impact it has on our planet – less water, no land needed, and no animals harmed. It truly is the future of food. Cultivated meat is a game-changer for sustainability and animal welfare, and it's deliciously normal. And we can't wait for everyone to try it! 🚀🌍 Check out more of our products here: https://lnkd.in/gD4fTXcV #CultivatedMeat #Meat #Food #FoodTech #Innovation Paul Bevan Jacob Goodwin Andrew Laslett Vijay Kumar Wendy Chua Ella Jenkins Robert Gemmell

This is a long time in the making but encouraging to see the Government announce a review of the registration process for new chemicals used for timber treatment, pest control and animal remedies. The cross over in processes between the EPA, MPI and Worksafe needs sorting - possibly by forming one entity for processing agrichemical and animal medicine registrations, much like our key trading partners, e.g. the APMVA in Australia. Finally time to move forward and for the government to provide clear direction and efficient processes for companies bringing new innovative products to the New Zealand primary sector to manage our pests and diseases. plus inhibit animal methane emissions.

Are consumers still willing to spend more on meat? According to 2024 Power of Meat, “91% of consumers surveyed say that they can be persuaded to spend a little more on meat and poultry.” Anne-Marie Roerink, principal and founder of San Antonio-based 210 Analytics LLC, notes that how consumers look at premium meat is different today, because their preferences are more personalized...the consumer definition of premium is related to production claims such as organic, grass-fed or free-range. For many consumers, health, animal welfare and the environment are all interconnected when they think of a better-for-you choice. If your shoppers are seeking premium quality beef and pork that carry the claims most important to them, Meyer Natural Foods family of brands has you covered. Top claims important to consumers of beef and pork include raised in the USA, no antibiotics, no added hormones, all-natural*, grass-fed and organic.

📖 While you are enjoying the summer holidays, we would like to offer you an interesting and insightful paper about food security: «Food insecurity is a serious and immediate concern for the world due to challenges including overpopulation; conflicts; animal, plant, and human diseases; climate change; depletion of resources; and environmental degradation. Long-term solutions for food production must consider the impacts on the environment, water and other resources, human and animal health, and sustainable crop production. The fundamental cause of food insecurity is the rapid and unprecedented increase in human population from approximately 2 billion people in 1925 to over 8 billion in 2023. The need for food has led to major expansion of both crop and food animal production including movement into new areas; increased production requires more resources, some of which are being depleted. This paper focuses on food animal production. Humans depend on three major species for most animal-origin food: Chickens (meat and eggs), cattle (meat and milk), and swine (meat). Each species is currently threatened by diseases that can rapidly spread internationally, and some have zoonotic potential. Diversification of animal-based food, such as expanding aquaculture can help to protect against food shortages should an epizootic occur in one or more of the above species. Cutting-edge science is needed to improve food animal production and pathogen control. This requires an interdisciplinary one-world, one-health approach led by international organizations and funded by the developed world. An optimal response will involve scientists and policy experts from government, the private sector, and universities worldwide. Strengthening all nations' public health infrastructure and veterinary services is essential to this aim. Fortunately, concerns about worldwide food security are concurrent with rapid advances in nearly all aspects of science, which can be applied to sustainably increase food production both locally and globally. There must be a collective will to apply science and to implement policies to solve current food security problems and to prepare for future challenges.» 👉 Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/e77XA8ju #learnwithfoster #foster #fosterproject #fosteringfoodsystem #innovation #horizoneuropefoster #citizenscience #citizen #food #foodscience #societyfood #horizonproject #horizon #policy #foodpolicy #governance #knowledgesharing #news #knowledgeinnovation #governance #experts

More states lining up to ban cell-grown meat By Dan Flynn on September 6, 2024 So called alt-meat, cultivated from cells and grown in laboratory-like facilities, has experienced regulatory and market success in only fits and starts. But it remains enough of a threat to traditional animal agriculture. And several states are ready to save animal agriculture by banning alt-meat entirely. Three states have already enacted laws limiting or entirely banning cultivated meat. https://lnkd.in/gWz4JMfX

It is ironic how only law makers seem to be confused about plant-based products while their own supreme court and population is not confused at all, in part because of proper labeling. Adjusting plant-based labels to whatever animal agriculture would allow will only confuse consumers. This decree will do the exact opposite of what the French government says it is intended to do. What do you think the actual intentions of this decree are? Post your thoughts below.
