Between 2013 and 2023, cultivated meat companies raised a total of nearly $3 billion. In 2020, Singapore approved the world's first cultivated meat products, with the U.S. and Israel following close behind.  But head to the meat department of any American grocery store today, and you won't find cultivated meat for sale. After short-lived restaurant tasting menus in the U.S., it's no longer available. Distribution in Singapore is growing but small, and no products have launched in Israel yet.  So what happened to the high hopes for cultivated meat? And what comes next for the industry? In this episode, Shayle talks to Isha Datar, executive director of New Harvest, a non-profit focused on developing research in the industry. She has written blog posts arguing that the industry is in the start-up hype cycle's “trough of disillusionment.” She calls for focusing on basic research, targeting high-value products, and even adopting a different name — cellular agriculture — to signal a shift toward a broader set of biotech products and techniques. Shayle and Isha cover topics like: What went wrong with the first-generation startups focused on low-value, whole-meat products like beef and chicken Persistent challenges in the industry, like the siloing of expertise, scarcity of research funding, and lack of standardization  Why she's hopeful about a more diverse second generation that's focused on high-value products like sashimi and foie gras and biotech ingredients like fetal bovine serum and cell culture media The cellular agriculture cost stack and the $30,000 batch of cookies  Basic research, shared resources, and the standardization needed to bring down costs Recommended resources New Harvest: Where Are We On the Hype Cycle?

In this episode, Sharon sits down with Daan Luining, a pioneering mind in the field of cultivated meat and co-founder of Meatable. Together, they explore Dan's fascinating journey from a researcher in cell molecular biology and tissue engineering to leading a company at the forefront of sustainable food innovation. The conversation uncovers the challenges of merging cell biology with food science, debunking industry misconceptions, and navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Daan shares insights into Meatable's mission, their groundbreaking approach to producing cultivated pork fat, and the collaborative role traditional meat producers play in reshaping the industry. With a focus on transparency, innovation, and inclusivity, this episode dives deep into the future of food and the societal shifts needed to create a more sustainable and equitable world. About Daan Daan Luining is the co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Meatable, a Dutch biotechnology company pioneering the production of cultivated meat. With a background in cell molecular biology and tissue engineering, Daan was part of the team that developed the world's first lab-grown hamburger in 2013. He later served as Research Director at New Harvest, a non-profit organization funding academic research in cellular agriculture. In 2018, Daan co-founded Meatable to create real meat without harming animals, utilizing innovative stem cell technologies to produce sustainable and delicious meat products About Meatable Meatable is a Dutch biotechnology company founded in 2018 by Krijn de Nood, Daan Luining, and Mark Kotter. The company specializes in producing cultivated meat using proprietary stem cell technology, aiming to create real meat without the need for animal slaughter. Meatable's innovative approach utilizes pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into various cell types, enabling the efficient production of muscle and fat cells for meat products. This method eliminates the use of fetal bovine serum, making the process more ethical and sustainable. In April 2024, Meatable became the first company in the European Union to receive regulatory approval from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for a public tasting of cultivated meat, specifically their sausage product. This milestone event garnered significant media attention and marked a crucial step toward bringing cultivated meat to the European market. Meatable continues to advance its mission of providing sustainable and ethical meat alternatives, focusing on scalability and market readiness to meet the growing global demand for meat products.

It takes an extremely strong song to top the charts three separate times in three separate decades, but "I Will Always Love You" is just such a song.Written and recorded (twice) by Dolly Parton and then re-recorded in show-stopping fashion by Whitney Houston, the ballad has morphed from a fond farewell to a former mentor, to a theatrical goodbye to a lover, to a soaring ode to the very notions of love and loss.

Upon reading his obituary, Mark Twain reportedly wrote that “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Whether Twain actually wrote this or not, the reality remains that today the reports of the death of cultivated meat are indeed quite real. Yet Bruce Friedrich, the president of the Good Food Institute, is here to tell you that he believes such reports are not based on science and are indeed greatly exaggerated.  Few people have done more to inspire others to pursue alternative protein—including cultivated meat—as a strategy to ameliorate world problems than Bruce. I've known Bruce since 1996, and one thing that's remained constant during the past three decades is that Bruce's commitment to reducing suffering on the planet is simply enormous. Whether in his role as part of the nonprofit animal advocacy world or the crusade he's been on since co-founding GFI in 2016 to render alternative proteins no longer alternative, Bruce's lodestar has always been: how can he do as much good as possible during his limited time on the planet? In this conversation, Bruce and I focus on the state of the plant-based and cultivated meat industries today, why he believes the critics are misguided, whether China will lead this race, how to respond to the new cultivated meat bans like those newly passed in Florida and Alabama, and critically: what it will take for alt-protein to no longer be alt. Discussed in this episode This episode is the 10th in our ten-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous nine episodes include Orbillion Bio, UPSIDE Foods, Avant Meats, BlueNalu, Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. Dr. Elliot Swartz's presentation: The Cost Drivers of Cultivated Meat Production. GFI's Plant-Based Meat Production Volume Modeling 2030 analysis. GFI's numerous additional resources, including The Science of Cultivated Meat, Advancing Solutions for Alternative Protein, The Costs and Environmental Impacts of Cultivated Meat, and The GFI Startup Manual.  You can sign up to receive GFI's many newsletters and to be alerted to their many webinars and other events and resources at gfi.org/newsletters.  Bruce cites numerous laws, including Amara's Law (we tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run), Wright's Law (for every cumulative doubling of units produced, costs will fall by a constant percentage), and even Newton's Third Law (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).

No cultivated meat company has raised more capital than UPSIDE Foods. In 2022, after having already raised about $200 million in previous rounds, the company raised another $400 million in a Series C round with a company valuation north of the coveted $1 billion unicorn status. No company in the space has garnered more media attention, both positive and critical, than UPSIDE Foods. No company has as much volume of cultivation capacity as UPSIDE Foods. No company is as old as UPSIDE Foods, as it was the first startup formed to take this technology out of academia and work to commercialize real meat grown slaughter-free. It's also one of the few companies in the world to have been granted regulatory approval to actually sell cultivated meat, which it did in the US. So it was only fitting that this conversation with UPSIDE CEO Uma Valeti take place in person inside the beating heart of UPSIDE's EPIC (Cultivated Meat Engineering, Production, and Innovation Center) cultivated meat pilot facility in Emeryville, California. I often say that I'm Uma Valeti's first biographer, since I profile him in Clean Meat, but I certainly won't be his last biographer, regardless of whether he succeeds or fails. And the last time I visited UPSIDE Foods, in 2017, when the company was still called Memphis Meats, and I got to enjoy their cultivated duck. At that time, they had only a handful of employees. Now, as 230 UPSIDE employees worked away in the dramatically nicer building that houses EPIC, I first got to enjoy four different cultivated chicken dishes. I tried both chicken that was FDA-approved and grown in smaller cultivators, and chicken that was yet to be FDA-approved, which was grown in 2,000-liter cultivators. Spoiler: they all tasted great, and were easily discerned from most plant-based chicken in scent, flavor, and texture. After the tasting, Uma and I sat down for this frank conversation in which we discussed UPSIDE's past, present, and future. That includes details about the scale and capability at which they currently sit, why they paused their plans for their vaunted Rubicon commercial facility in Illinois, what expansions they're planning on making at EPIC in California, what Uma thinks about the obituaries some journalists are writing for the cultivated meat industry, when he thinks cultivated meat will reach 1 percent market share in the total meat market, and much more.  In this conversation, you'll hear Uma elaborate on how the technology has gone from being decried as impossible to now possible, and what remains to be seen is whether it will now go from possible to inevitable.  It's a fascinating and revelatory conversation with a man who has served in many ways as a face for the cultivated meat movement for many years, even prior to founding this company. Discussed in this episode This episode is the eighth in our multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous seven episodes include Avant Meats, BlueNalu, Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. Our past episode with New Harvest founder Jason Matheny. A 2013 Washington Post obituary for electric vehicles. Nine states are now phasing out gas cars by 2035, and so are automakers like GM. Uma and Paul both endorse the work of the Good Food Institute. You can see a clip of Paul tasting UPSIDE Foods' duck in 2017 here. Uma is profiled in Clean Meat, which has an updated 2024 paperback edition now out.  Tyson Foods pulled out of its investment in Beyond Meat. Paul couldn't recall the exact name in the live interview, but he was referring to Potemkin villages in Russia. More about Uma Valeti Dr. Uma Valeti is the CEO and Founder of UPSIDE Foods. Uma earned a degree in Cardiology from the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) in Pondicherry, India. After residencies at Wayne State and SUNY Buffalo, Uma completed three fellowships at the Mayo Clinic. He teaches Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University. In 2019, Uma was named a “Global Thinker of the Decade” by Foreign Policy magazine. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Aspen Ideas Festival, and SXSW.

Asia is leading the world when it comes to semiconductors, solar panels, wind turbines, and other technologies critical for the future. In a time when several US states are seeking to ban the sale of cultivated meat, Asia seems to be leaning into the technology, and one of the most mature companies in the space there is Avant Meats.  Founded in Hong Kong in 2018 and having raised about $15 million USD to date, Avant Meats is focused on making a dent in Asian seafood demand. In this episode, Avant founder and CEO Carrie Chan discusses why her focus is seafood, what scale she's at and where she hopes to soon go, and how long she thinks it will be before cultivated fish might reach one percent market share in Asia.  As you'll hear in this conversation, Avant Meats is already animal component-free in its feedstock for its fish cells, and it's cultivating inside a 250L bioreactor to generate the material for its public tastings. Now headquartered in Singapore, the company intends to grow there and eventually branch throughout Asia, a project for which it's currently fundraising. Discussed in this episode This episode is the seventh in our multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous six episodes include BlueNalu, Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. China alone consumers 65 million tons of seafood annually.  Carrie points to how China rapidly transformed the small fishing village of Shenzhen into a metropolis, and what relevance this has for cultivated meat scaling. More about Carrie Chan Carrie Chan is the co-founder and CEO of Avant Meats. She's a seasoned business executive with a passion for the environment, particularly the impact of our food supply on the planet. With experiences in strategy and general management, she also managed major greenfield Capex projects from conception to revenue-generating operations. She is a Bloomberg New Economy Catalyst 2022 and holds an MBA from INSEAD. Carrie co-founded Avant with Dr Mario Chin in 2018 in Hong Kong, the first cultivated fish company in Asia, and expanded to Singapore in 2021. Avant's technology offers a system to produce nutritious, tasty fish and functional proteins directly from fish cells at economically viable costs. The group's end-to-end technology platform also allows continuous new product development from scratch to production.   Avant aims to be a global leader in producing traceable and sustainably cultivated proteins in a fully contained environment for food, skincare, and functional applications. Avant now has a presence in Singapore and Greater China. Avant has also been awarded Technology Pioneer and Global Innovator by the World Economic Forum and featured in Reuters, Financial Times, TIME, Forbes, The Telegraph, South China Morning Post, and CCTV. For more information, please visit www.avantmeats.com. At Avant, Carrie provides the vision, guides the strategy and supervises the implementation. 

BlueNalu is one of the better-funded companies when it comes to cultivated meat. Having raised more than $100 million, including about $35 million toward the end of 2023—a notoriously difficult time to fundraise—their founder and CEO Lou Cooperhouse is optimistic about their path to success. But as you'll hear in this episode, Lou isn't working to compete against the commodity meats like chicken, pork, and beef. Rather, he's pursuing a strategy to compete against products that are exponentially higher-cost, like bluefin tuna, which can often sell for more than $100 a pound. In this conversation, Lou lays out his vision for a future BlueNalu factory with multiple 100,000 liter cultivators churning out some of the priciest oceanic delicacies. And because of this high price point, Lou thinks that his economic model is among the most attractive out there. We also talk about BlueNalu's collaborations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and US, and what he thinks the biggest barriers to success are, and more. Discussed in this episode This episode is the sixth in our multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous five episodes include Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, New Harvest, and Aleph Farms. BlueNalu's recent $33.5 million fundraise. Lou recommends reading Great by Choice and First, Break All the Rules Lou was a guest on the show more than four years ago in Episode 32! Lou is affiliated with the Rutgers Food Innovation Center.

When you think about cultivated meat, Thailand isn't exactly the first country that comes to mind. Sure, you may think about the US, Netherlands, Israel, and Singapore. But the Southeast Asian kingdom is where Israeli cultivated meat juggernaut Aleph Farms recently announced its first commercial factory will be.  Having just received Israel's first regulatory approval to sell cultivated meat—and the world's first regulatory approval for cultivated beef in particular—Aleph Farms CEO Didier Toubia discusses his company's rollout strategy with me in this conversation. As you'll hear, Aleph wants to start by selling limited quantities in Israel within 2024, but the company intends to operate its first plant in Thailand with what Didier calls an “asset light” pilot facility capable of producing 1,000 tons a year. For those of you who aren't mathletes, that's about two million pounds of finished cultivated meat product—”finished” meaning finished goods that are a hybrid of animal cells and plant-based ingredients as well. Of course, two million pounds is a vast quantity compared to the volume of cultivated meat that's been produced thus far, but it's not even a rounding error in Asia's meat demand, let alone global meat demand. So how long will it be before Didier thinks the cultivated meat sector will make a real dent in animal meat demand? You can hear his answer in this episode! Despite negative headlines surrounding the space lately, Didier claims he's more optimistic than ever before about his prospects for success, and that he's still fighting to have $1 billion in revenue within the next 10 years. You can hear him explain why he thinks that's realistic in this conversation.  Discussed in this episode This episode is the fifth in a multi-part podcast series on cultivated meat. The previous four episodes include Eat Just, Fork & Good, Mosa Meat, and New Harvest. We discussed Aleph Farms and the impact of the 10/7 Hamas massacre in Israel in our recent episode with Kitchen CEO Jonathan Berger. Aleph Farms' recent announcement to move to set up shop in Thailand, partnering with Fermbox Bio. Didier attended The Better Meat Co.'s Night Under the Fermenters. The global meat market is worth about $1.5 trillion. Didier's recent Fast Company op-ed explaining his regret about cultivated meat timeline predictions. More about Didier Toubia Didier Toubia is the Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms. He's a Food Engineer and Biologist who led two medical device companies and co-invented over 40 patent families; Co-Founder and CEO of IceCure – went public in 2010, and CEO of NLT Spine – acquired by SeaSpine in 2016. He was trained at AgroSup in Dijon, France, and was awarded with a specialized masters degree from ESCP Business School. Didier holds a joint Executive MBA degree from the Kellogg and Recanati business schools, USA and Israel.

When the New York Times recently ran an opinion column declaring the infant fatality of the cultivated meat industry, Isha Datar, CEO of New Harvest, was quoted as saying of the sector, “this is a bubble that is going to pop.” Given that New Harvest is intended to promote and advance the field, what did Isha mean by this? She expounded on that thought in a 2,000-word commentary asserting that while she disagrees with the columnist's conclusion that cultivated meat can never become a viable reality, she believes that the sector has been plagued by “exaggerations, lies, and broken promises.” In this episode, Isha and I talk about what she's referring to, the difference she sees between cellular agriculture via precision fermentation (e.g., Perfect Day and EVERY) and cellular agriculture aimed at producing actual animal meat (e.g., Eat Just and Mosa Meat), whether cultivated meat is more like flying cars (a far future technology) or electric cars from 15 years ago (not yet ready, but realistically possible), what pathway forward she sees toward actually fulfilling the promise to end the factory farming of animals.  Discussed in this episode Isha's first appearance in 2020 on this show, Episode 42 Our recent episodes in this podcast series on cultivated meat with Eat Just, Fork & Good, and Mosa Meat. New Harvest's thoughts on the recent NY Times opinion column on cultivated meat The EU's FEASTS program: Fostering European Cellular Agriculture for Sustainable Transition Solution The Tufts University Institute for Cellular Agriculture Isha recommends reading The Generosity Network by Jennifer McCrea More about Isha Datar Isha has been pioneering cellular agriculture since 2009, driven by a passion to see transformative technology create a better world. In 2010, Isha published "Possibilities for an in-vitro meat production system" in Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies; thus began her quest to establish the field of cell ag.  Isha became Executive Director of New Harvest in 2013. She co-founded Muufri (now Perfect Day) and Clara Foods in 2014, and soon after passed her founding equity to New Harvest in full to establish the first endowment for cell ag research. In 2015 she named the field "cellular agriculture" - officially creating a category for agriculture products produced from cell cultures rather than whole plants or animals. She is a Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow and also served as a Director's Fellow at the MIT Media Lab.  Isha has a BSc. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Alberta and a Masters in Biotechnology from the University of Toronto.

Many times when we talk about technology that can improve animal welfare, we're talking about innovations that either have displaced or could displace the use of animals. Think for example about cars replacing horse-power, kerosene replacing whale oil, and animal-free meats displacing factory farming of animals. But can technology also be used to make better the lives of animals who are still being used? Long-time tech enthusiast and animal advocate Robert Yaman is betting on that idea, and has launched a new charity, Innovate Animal Ag, designed to help the animal-use industries implement such new technologies. In its first few months, the organization has already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now working to implement two technologies in particular which could reduce the suffering of vast numbers of chickens: in-ovo sexing of eggs in hatcheries and on-farm hatching of chickens used for meat. You may know already that the egg industry has little use for male chicks, and this type of bird grows too slowly for the male chicks to be of interest to meat producers. As a result, billions of male chicks are killed on the first day of their lives at hatcheries around the world, often by grinding, gassing, crushing, or other gruesome methods. Innovate Animal Ag, however, is proposing that hatcheries determine the sex of the egg long before hatching so these unfortunate males are never birthed into such an unwelcoming world in the first place. Led by Germany's new legislation on the topic, already many egg hatcheries in Europe have implemented the technology, and Innovate Animal Ag believes that producers in the US will soon benefit from this European innovation as well. This is a riveting conversation with an insightful thinker and do-er who's devoted his life to using technology to advance animals' interests. From starting his own cultivated meat company, to working at another cultivated meat company for years, to now launching his own nonprofit seeking to work with animal producers rather than just against them, Robert's someone whose opinions I'm always interested in hearing and I think you will be too. And as you'll hear in this episode, he's also a great musician! Discussed in this episode Robert founded Kiran Meats, a cultivated meat startup, and later joined Mission Barns where he worked to advance the cultivation of animal fat cells. Robert recommends reading The Innovator's Dilemma and the Stratechery blog. Robert's latest column for Poultry World. See the 2023 In-Ovo Sexing Review. You can listen to some of the latest music Robert's created on Spotify! He also used to be a professional singer, but sadly he claims in this episode that he's not that into karaoke today. Our past episode with Isha Datar, CEO of New Harvest. More about Robert Yaman Robert Yaman, the Founder and Executive Director of Innovate Animal Ag, spent his entire career in Silicon Valley. He started as an engineer at Google, and later moved into food tech, most recently running operations at a startup developing cell-cultivated animal fat as a food ingredient. Through this work, he's thought and written extensively on the lifecycle of new technologies as they come to market. In addition to being a self-proclaimed nerd about science, engineering, and manufacturing, he's passionate about finding ways to turn conflict into collaboration through aligning incentives.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Price-, Taste-, and Convenience-Competitive Plant-Based Meat Would Not Currently Replace Meat, published by Jacob Peacock on August 15, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Also available on the Rethink Priorities website. Executive summary Plant-based meats, like the Beyond Sausage or Impossible Burger, and cultivated meats have become a source of optimism for reducing animal-based meat usage. Public health, environmental, and animal welfare advocates aim to mitigate the myriad harms of meat usage. The price, taste, and convenience (PTC) hypothesis posits that if plant-based meat is competitive with animal-based meat on these three criteria, the large majority of current consumers would replace animal-based meat with plant-based meat. The PTC hypothesis rests on the premise that PTC primarily drive food choice. The PTC hypothesis and premise are both likely false. A majority of current consumers would continue eating primarily animal-based meat even if plant-based meats were PTC-competitive. PTC do not mainly determine food choices of current consumers; social and psychological factors also play important roles. Although not examined here, there may exist other viable approaches to drive the replacement of animal-based meats with plant-based meats. There is insufficient empirical evidence to more precisely estimate or optimize the current (or future) impacts of plant-based meat. To rectify this, consider funding: Research measuring the effects of plant-based meat sales on displacement of animal-based meat. Research comparing the effects of plant-based meats with other interventions to reduce animal-based meat usage. Informed (non-blinded) taste tests to benchmark current plant-based meats and enable measurements of taste improvement over time. Introduction Plant-based meats, like the Beyond Sausage or Impossible Burger, and cultivated meats[1] have been identified as important means of reducing the public health, environmental, and animal welfare harms associated with animal-based meat production (Rubio et al., 2020). By providing competitive alternatives, these products might displace the consumption of animal-based meats. Since cultivated meats are not currently widely available on the public market, this paper will focus on plant-based meats, although many of the arguments might also apply to cultivated meats. Animal welfare, environmental, and public health advocates believe plant-based meats present a valuable opportunity to mitigate significant negative externalities of industrial animal agriculture, like animal suffering, greenhouse gas emissions, and antimicrobial resistance. For example, Animal Charity Evaluators lists "[cultivated] and plant-based food tech" as a priority cause area (Animal Charity Evaluators, 2022b), and a 2018 survey of 30 animal advocacy leaders and researchers ranked creating plant-based (and cultivated) meats third (after only research and corporate outreach) in their top priorities (Savoie, 2018). Non-profits working to research and support plant-based and cultivated meat production have received millions of dollars in funding (Animal Charity Evaluators, 2022a; New Harvest, 2021). Hu et al. (2019) describes plant-based meats as a potentially "vital" means to reduce the risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Others have focused on reducing the climate impact of food production and "the need to de-risk global food systems" (Zane Swanson et al., 2023). The private and public sectors have taken note as well; in 2022, the "plant-based meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy companies" foods industry attracted at least $1.2 billion in private investment activity and at least $874 million in public funding (The Good Food Institute, 2022, pp. 55, 85-88). This enthusiasm has been propelled in some significant part by the informa...

Hosea 10:9-15 What are you planting in your life? In Hosea 10:9-15, God warns his people that they will reap what they sow. Listen in and consider what you are reaping in your life, family, and church.

“So, if you listen to the experts, we're to be raising dramatically more animals for food in the future. The only way around that, I think, is through technologies that will render the exploitation of these animals obsolete. I mean, technologies have changed so much about how we live here on Earth today. Instead of whipping horses, we now use bikes and cars. Instead of harpooning whales, we now use electricity. You know, instead of live plucking geese for their quills, we now tap on glass screens to write messages to each other. And all of these technologies at first seemed very foreign." - Paul Shapiro       At Species Unite, we get a lot of email and comments every time we do a news story or a podcast on cultivated meat or new alternative proteins. I think in part because the industry is changing and moving so fast and I think in part because I always assume people know more than they do.   So, we thought it'd be helpful to invite some of the leaders in the space onto a panel to explain where we are, where we're going and what the road to one day having an animal free food system looks like.   This conversation is a live panel that we did a couple of weeks ago with some of the top leaders who are shaping the future of how we eat: Paul Shapiro, the CEO of the The Better Meat Co., and Anne Palermo, the CEO of Aqua Cultured Foods., who both work with fermentation. Isha Datar, the Executive Director of New Harvest, whose work is focused on cultivated meat. Shannon Falconer, the CEO of Because, Animals who is developing cultivated meat for pet food. And Albert Tseng, the CEO of Dao Foods joined us from China, which as a single country consumes 28% of the world's meat. Albert invests in innovators to find solutions for China's food system.   These are a handful of the people who are changing our food system into a much kinder, healthier and planet friendly place, a place without animals, but also one that doesn't require much change on the part of humans who don't want to give up meat. This is the future of food.   Links: The Better Meat Co New Harvest Because, Animals DAO Foods Aqua Cultured Foods  Isha Datars TED Talk 

Twenty years ago, Jason Matheny was a public health student who in his spare time was crusading to create a meat industry that would be less reliant on animals.  In 2004, after he founded New Harvest to popularize cultured meat, his fame grew. The New York Times profiled him in its annual “Ideas of the Year” feature in 2005. That same year Discover magazine named cultured meat one of the most notable tech stories. For the next several years, Jason was the face of the movement to grow real meat without animals, traveling the world to persuade governments and food companies alike that they should be investing in a future where people would eat meat, but not animals.  By 2009, now armed with his BA, MBA, MPH, and PhD, Jason began turning his attention toward preventing the more immediate and potentially catastrophic risks humanity faces. After leaving New Harvest, he eventually rose to become the director of Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), a federal agency that develops advanced technologies for national intelligence. Running the federal intelligence agency would eventually lead Jason to helm a national security center at Georgetown University, followed by a high-profile national security role in the Biden White House, to now being the CEO of the Rand Corporation. He was even named one of Foreign Policy's “Top 50 Global Thinkers.” As you'll hear in this interview, Jason shifted from his work on cultivated meat toward national security as he became convinced that technology can vastly improve both human and animal welfare, and that the only real threat to technological advancement is an apocalyptic catastrophe like a synthetic virus or asteroid. He still cares about the welfare of those of us living today—human and nonhuman alike—but Jason's primary preoccupation has become reducing civilization-threatening risks so that our species can keep progressing into the deep future. I think you'll find this conversation with this leading thinker as riveting as I did. Jason even talks about what technologies he hopes listeners will pursue to mitigate existential risks, so be sure to listen closely! Discussed in this episode Jason recommends reading The Precipice by Toby Ord. Jason passed the New Harvest torch onto Isha Datar, who was our guest on Episode 42. Our Episode 89 with Rep. Ro Khanna regarding his legislation relating to national security implications of losing the alt-meat race. Paul's thoughts in The Hill on government funding for alt-meat. More about Jason Matheny Jason Matheny is president and chief executive officer of the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis.  Prior to becoming RAND's president and CEO in July 2022, he led White House policy on technology and national security at the National Security Council and the Office of Science and Technology Policy. Previously, he was founding director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University and director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), where he was responsible for developing advanced technologies for the U.S. intelligence community.  Before IARPA, he worked for Oxford University, the World Bank, the Applied Physics Laboratory, the Center for Biosecurity, and Princeton University. Matheny has served on many nonpartisan boards and committees, including the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, to which he was appointed by Congress in 2018.  He is a recipient of the Intelligence Community's Award for Individual Achievement in Science and Technology, the National Intelligence Superior Service Medal, and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. He was also named one of Foreign Policy's “Top 50 Global Thinkers.”  Matheny holds a Ph.D. in applied economics from Johns Hopkins University, an M.P.H. from Johns Hopkins University, an M.B.A. from Duke University, and a B.A. in art history from the University of Chicago.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing Innovate Animal Ag (like GFI but for Animal Welfare Tech), published by RobertY on April 14, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm very excited to announce the launch of Innovate Animal Ag, a new nonprofit whose mission is to support agricultural technologies that directly improve animal welfare. Our first focus is on helping introduce in-ovo egg sexing technologies into the US. We're currently hiring and fundraising! The problem Companies improve their treatment of animals when the cost of the status quo is higher than the cost of change. Historically, pressure from activists, consumers, and regulators has been effective at increasing the cost of the inhumane practices that are part of the status quo. But significantly less work has been done on the other side of the equation: decreasing the cost of change. Similarly to how The Good Food Institute, New Harvest, and The Material Innovation Initiative support the field of alternative proteins, Innovate Animal Ag supports the field of animal welfare technology. Through education, networking building, and other ecosystem-level interventions, we aim to make it as easy as possible for companies to adopt new technologies that improve animal welfare. The technologies that we focus on will be guided by the EA principles of importance, tractability and neglectedness. Based on these criteria, some classes of technology we could be interested in include humane seafood slaughter machines, humane poultry euthanasia techniques, humane pest control technologies, and in-ovo egg sexing. Initial focus: in-ovo egg sexing Most of our work in the short term will be spent on in-ovo egg sexing technologies, specifically on helping introduce them to the US market. We chose this focus because it addresses an important problem that's particularly tractable right now: The culling of male chicks in the egg industry. We hope to use this as a test-case for our overall approach. For each of the more than 6 billion egg-laying hens in the world, there was a male chick that was fertilized, incubated, hatched, manually identified by a human, sorted, and then immediately killed. This practice is inhumane, wasteful for the industry, and unpopular with the consumers that know about it. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions being developed by companies and labs around the world. Some are even in the early stages of commercialization in Europe, where governments have started to ban the practice of chick culling. This rollout is going better than many realize: Extrapolating from publicly available partnership announcements, we estimate that current in-ovo sexing companies already supply between 10 and 20% of the entire EU market, with a cost impact of 1–3 euro cents per table egg (similar to, if not lower than cage-free). This leads us to believe that current technology is already ready for the high-end specialty egg market in the US. A small market foothold at the high end is then the first step towards wider adoption. Once companies demonstrate that there is demand for these products, they can more easily invest in lowering costs and scaling. Eventually the goal is to fulfill The United Egg Producers promise to completely eliminate chick culling across the industry. In our conversations with the companies developing this technology, a common refrain is that they're interested in the US market, but have little direct engagement with the US egg industry. For the most part, companies are focused on Europe because that's where governments are banning chick culling. Jumpstarting the market in the US will be challenging. Producers may not be aware that this technology is ready, and if they are, they may not be confident that consumers will be willing to pay a price premium. We aim to help solve these problems through interventions such as:...

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the CEO & Co-Founder of Finless Foods, Michael Selden.Michael Selden, the founder of Finless Foods, is a pioneer in sustainable food production, specifically in the emerging field of cellular agriculture. With his expertise in entrepreneurship, Selden has built Finless Foods into a successful business that uses cutting-edge technology to produce meat products without the need for traditional animal agriculture. Selden's work is closely tied to his concern for sustainability and environmental conservation, which can provide valuable insights into the future of food and the potential for technology to transform how we produce and consume food. By getting to know Selden, you can learn about the latest advances in sustainable food production and gain insights into the community of people passionate about creating a more sustainable and ethical food system.About Michael Selden: Since a young age, Michale has been a stalwart environmentalist, cultivating an acute awareness of the issues that plague the planet and pondering solutions to rectify systemic inequities. One such issue, the negative impact of animal agriculture and overfishing, inspired him to take action by dedicating his career to impacting positive change within the seafood industry. He first developed a passion for the interrelation of Science and food systems, specifically the critical roles they play in economic, environmental, and social justice, during my time at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Michael began his career there by working in fungal epigenetics to save large monocultures like bananas from the destructive Panama disease. After school, he moved to Taiwan to teach Chemistry at an international high school, followed by working as a translator and Co-Editor-in-Chief at ChinaSMACK, a Shanghai-based news site. Following his return to the states, he worked at the Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine studying high-throughput cancer screening and as a research intern at New Harvest, a non-profit dedicated to propelling the field of cellular agriculture. Through the intersection of my previous roles and innate interests, he was drawn to a 2014 article in The Atlantic that announced a crucial scientific development: the ability to synthesize horseshoe crab blood, a vital component for quality control of many life-saving vaccines. He thought to himself - "if we can make horseshoe crab blood without horseshoe crabs, why can't we make seafood without harvesting fish?" One night over beers with his friend Brian Wywras, a research technician at the time, they fleshed out ideas that laid the foundation for what would soon become one of the most innovative companies in the field of cell-cultured seafood. In 2017, Finless Foods created the first fish meat grown outside of a living fish to ever be consumed by a person. Eventually, their passion and vision attracted $3.5 million in funding and landed Bryan and Michael spots on the Forbes 30 under 30 for Social Impact. When he's not working towards building a sustainable future for our oceans, you can find me hanging out with my bulldog Roscoe, making music, or reading the latest science fiction.About Finless Foods: Finless Foods is a food technology company focused on creating a sustainable future for seafood. Their goal is to contribute to preserving the ocean and its ecosystems, while offering consumers alternative seafood products that are both delicious and ethical.To achieve this, Finless Foods is leveraging innovative plant and cell culture technology, which allows them...

You've heard of the companies seeking to build new brands of animal-free meat, but you hear a lot less about the B2B companies working behind the scenes to give those pioneers the tools they need to succeed. One such company, Matrix FT, recently debuted what it's calling Ohio's first cultivated chicken nugget, featuring chicken cells grown on the scaffolds and microcarriers it produces. Via a technology called electo-spinning (more like this than this), Matrix FT is creating edible, animal-free, cost-effective ingredients that cultivated meat companies can use in their media to more effectively grow their meat. And now the company's starting to work with plant-based meat companies to improve texture, as well. Recently Matrix FT's founder and CEO Eric Jenkusky stepped down from his role, and their executive Teryn Wolfe assumed the helm of the company. In this interview, we talk with Teryn about what circumstances in her life led her to be running an alt-protein food tech company, what she views as the big hurdles in the space, and why she thinks it's taking longer for cultivated meat to reach your plate than many had predicted. Discussed in this episode Using electro-spinning for plant-based meat (cool tech here on this too) Using electro-spinning for cultivated meat Teryrn recommends the Good Food Institute's deep dive into cultivated meat science She also recommends New Harvest's resources About Teryn Wolfe Teryn Wolfe is the Interim CEO at Matrix Food Technologies, where she was the former Vice President and Director of Corporate Development and Strategic Relationships. Before joining Matrix F.T., Teryn founded and managed Measurement Matters, based out of  Colombia. She is also the founder of a startup that helps female artisans and entrepreneurs get their products to market, and a NGO. She is  Fulbright Research Scholar Alumni, a former Adjunct professor and possesses a diverse, international professional background, marked with unique experiences that have been driven by curiosity, determination and desire to deliver on creating meaningful, positive change in the world. Teryn lives in Columbus, Ohio with her son, Adrian, and her dog, Penny Lane. She spends her free time reading, cooking, playing, conjuring up new business ideas and planning logistics of adventures to come!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Announcing our 2022 charity recommendations, published by Animal Charity Evaluators on November 22, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Every year, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) spends several months evaluating animal advocacy organizations to identify those that work effectively and are able to do the most good with additional donations. Our goal is to help people help animals by providing donors with impactful giving opportunities that reduce suffering to the greatest extent possible. This year, we are excited to announce that we have selected one Top Charity and four Standout Charities. In 2022, we conducted comprehensive evaluations of 12 animal advocacy organizations that are doing promising work. Per our evaluation criteria, the five charities we recommended this year have the most impactful programs, are highly cost-effective, and have the most room for additional funding, making them exceptional choices for end-of-year giving. Because we changed the re-evaluation frequency of Top Charities from one to two years, The Humane League, Wild Animal Initiative, and Faunalytics have all retained their Top Charity status from 2021. The Good Food Institute now joins their ranks! We are also pleased to recommend Fish Welfare Initiative, Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, and Çiftlik Hayvanlarını Koruma Derneği as new Standout Charities. Additionally, Sinergia Animal retained their status as a Standout Charity after being re-evaluated this year. These charities join the seven other Standout Charities that retain their status from last year: Compassion USA, Dharma Voices for Animals, Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations, Material Innovation Initiative, Mercy For Animals, New Harvest, and xiaobuVEGAN. Below, you will find a brief overview of each of our Top and Standout charities. For more details, please check out our comprehensive charity reviews. Top Charities Evaluated in 2022 The Good Food Institute (GFI) currently operates in the U.S., Brazil, India, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Israel, where they work to increase the availability of animal-free products through supporting the development and marketing of plant-based and cell-cultured alternatives to animal products. They achieve this through corporate engagement, institutional outreach, and policy work. They also work to strengthen the capacity of the animal advocacy movement through supporting research and start-ups focused on alternative proteins. GFI was one of our Top Charities from November 2016 to November 2021. To learn more, read our 2022 comprehensive review of the Good Food Institute. Evaluated in 2021 Faunalytics is a U.S.-based organization working to connect animal advocates with information relevant to advocacy. This mostly involves cоnducting and publishing independent research, working directly with partner organizations on various research projects, and promoting existing research and data for individual advocates through their website's content library. Faunalytics was one of our Standout Charities from December 2015 to November 2021. To learn more, read our 2021 comprehensive review of Faunalytics. The Humane League (THL) operates in the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., and Japan, where they work to improve animal welfare standards through grassroots campaigns, movement building, vegan advocacy, research, and advocacy training, as well as through corporate, media, and community outreach. They work to build the animal advocacy movement internationally through the Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a coalition founded by THL whose mission is to end the use of battery cages globally. THL has been one of ACE's Top Charities since August 2012, when we used a different evaluation process and did not publish reviews. In 2014, THL was awarded Top Charity status in our first official round of ACE charity evaluation...

This week on Flightless Bird, David sets out to discover why Americans love burgers so much, eating 50 million of them a year. Joined by Monica, he tries to figure out why in America it's always beef for dinner and how that fact has drastically altered the biology of the humble cow. David talks to Ben Wurgaft, author of “Meat Planet: Artificial Flesh and the Future of Food” about the triumphs and problems of creating artificial meat. David also talks to Isha Datar, executive director of New Harvest, about the realities of feeding 8 billion people on earth each year using meat grown in giant vats - and asks whether it's all just hype. We also discover what Dax Shepard and Kim Kardashian have in common - and yes, it's related to meat.

In this week's episode we are joined by Rik Kleinfeldt, Founder and President of New Harvest Coffee Roasters! Rik, Nick and Sascha talk about Rik's journey from Ohio to PVD, his first experiences with coffee, starting New Harvest from a garage in Rumford over 20 years ago, there new location at Farm Fresh, and more!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New Harvest, the nonprofit nucleus of cellular agriculture, is in crisis. Emergency town hall on 6/10., published by IshaDatar on June 2, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. As New Harvest approaches 20 years since our founding, we are in a funding crisis. With five months of runway to survive and experts recommending companies extend runway by 18-24 months, we urgently need at least $2 million by July 31 to fulfill our budget for the year and make it through giving season while keeping impact high. I am no longer confident that New Harvest will raise our budgeted total for the year. We have $1,056,228 in the bank and will spend $201,209 every month if we stick to our budgeted expenses. Unless something changes, New Harvest will run out of money October 31, 2022. I am usually very optimistic, coming into this field a decade ago when cultured meat was barely more than science fiction. Optimism and a long game approach has pushed our work forward and enabled New Harvest to literally build the field of cellular agriculture from scratch. But this recent economic downturn has forced our hand. The time has come to shift from a growth mindset to survival mode. Over the next few weeks, I will have to make several challenging decisions about the future of New Harvest. Unfortunately, staff cuts are unavoidable in order to prioritize impact, supporting our research grantees, and extending our runway beyond October. I am hosting an open town hall during our upcoming conference on June 10th at 3:30pm EST to answer questions as best I can and discuss the future of New Harvest. If you can't attend in-person, you can tune in and participate via livestream by registering here. A bit about New Harvest: Like I said, we've literally build the field of cellular agriculture from scratch. New Harvest founded the first companies, funded the first PhDs, laid the groundwork for the National Institute for Cell Ag, and has had our work cited by the world's leading climate scientists in the latest IPCC report. Heck, we coined the term cellular agriculture. I am posting here because after sending out an emergency email yesterday, I received a flood of responses asking: What about OPP? Is New Harvest getting any EA funding? New Harvest's first supporters were EA and our founder, Jason Matheny, continues to be active in the EA world. Despite being recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators as a standout charity and our donor base swinging EA, we haven't seen enough support come through to really sustain us. Here's how you can help: Every dollar counts to make it through Giving Season. You can donate here. Attend our town hall on June 10 at 3:30pm EST (taking place on day two of our upcoming conference in Brooklyn). You can tune in and participate virtually by registering here. If you're interested in making a major gift, get in touch at stephanie.b@new-harvest.org. Send intros and connections. Impact investors far outnumber those willing to philanthropically support an org building the root system and ecosystem that allow companies in the private sector to flourish. If you have suggestions for how to tap into the investment $$ sloshing around in alt protein, get in touch at isha@new-harvest.org. We're on the search for new funders and grant opportunities (ideally grants with quick turnaround that we can apply for with an agile and skeleton team). If you have any leads, please let me know (again: isha@new-harvest.org) I sincerely believe this will be just one short part of the much longer New Harvest story. New Harvest isn't going anywhere, but we have to make rapid and drastic changes to survive. Thanks for listening.
