An example from the US. This is a 15 minutes interview with #UmaValeti, a former cardiologist and CEO/Founder of #UpsideFoods, who was a pioneer in the production of #LabGrownMeat through cell cultivation technology.

So let's feature some of these #AlternativeProtein innovators, 3 different types of businesses from 3 continents.

This is #SolarFoods from Finland, a company making ‘Food Out Of Thin Air’.

"On the outskirts of Helsinki, a pioneering factory is harvesting natural, scalable proteins all from fermented bacteria."

In case somebody is interested in something more highbrow, scientific and detailed, you can download the document prepared for the #EuropeanParliament titled #AlternativeProtein sources for food and feed (only 90 pages long 😉).

Another good (and short!) article explaining the need for sustainable

(has many names🤓)

The article explains the necessity and inevitability of providing money and political clout behind these new technologies and help them scale-up ASAP. Also highlights their positive effects on the environment and humans.

This article is a fantastic summary of the type of #CultivatedFood #innovation needed. ❤️

It also depicts a worrying political environment where the public will have to speak up and demand legal and financial support for #AlternativeProtein.

The #LivestockFarming lobbyists and their lapdog politicians will never stop. They've been living on their taxpayer funded subsidies for so long that the sheer thought of something new and better freaks them out.

I agree that governments should fund innovation in food production as long as it is for sustainable #AlternativeProtein, but these funds should go to startups and researchers and into protecting patents and new technologies from being monopolised by corporations.

Corporations have enough money of their own to invest and innovate to enter these markets, and they should, it's a great new business opportunity. Also, they could support #CultivatedFood approval/acceptance with their lobbying power.
