Wasted land, wasted water, and a whole lot of unhappy animals stuck in cages—we’ve seen how food is made and we don’t like it.

Help us take the fight to cruelty with a new generation of food that’s better for the planet, the animals, and people everywhere 🌎

#ipabeer without hops? The biotech EvodiaBio proposed to add a compound produced by yeast called monoterpenoids to impart hop aroma and flavor to beer. This could potentially reduce the gap in flavor between non-alcoholic beer and regular beer

What are your thoughts on insect protein? Is there an advantage on farming a more sustainable protein or is it solving a current problem by killing even more animals ? https://t.co/BJEEVB0aMO

#CulturedMeat is becoming more a more a reality. What some years ago seemed impossible (replace Fetal Bovine Serum, now is a reality). Check out this article by @PaulHShapiro https://t.co/YUXCypjLUK

@friedberg I am impressed by this concept. I guess you will/are be working with flavor houses to define "basic" flavors that will allow the equipment to have as many combinations as possible.

#China most likely will soon invest more on #CultivatedMeat. Two-thirds of respondents in China were willing to try cultivated meat if it tastes the same as regular meat", the highest willingness in the world based on the latest survey.

Investors visits are the perfect excuse to showcase and taste our latest #plantbased beef steaks at our lab 👩🏼‍🍳🥩

This new version has been considered last week by one of the top 10 chefs in the world as the best plant-based whole cut he has ever tasted 🤩

@GeltorInc launching the first animal free collagen, this will open the door to many new applications of this protein in so many different product categories.
