Technology
Cultivated meat - reality or Sci-fi?
Does CM technology work? Can we can grow cells in fermenters and produce food products from these cells?
Where on earth...
Will there be major issues getting approval to sell these products in many markets, Singapore, USA, Australia?
Build it and they will come
How much steel do we need? Are investors prepared to pay for it?
It's everywhere, but it is nowhere...
Backyard BBQ or high end dining - who is this for? Can it go mainstream?
Will CM have the ability to compete outside of the commodity meat market.
No more cows
Is CM about transformative impact?
Meating the product - it's a cow, it's a crane, no it's super-plants
Will the majority of CM products be hybrids with plant-based materials, or can they be meat?
Go on, try it... it won't hurt you
Will there be major food safety issue with these products?
What is the media?
Is it all hot air, or can media come down in price? Can we make these ingredients cheaply and of high quality?
Chewing the fat
What does the final product look like? Is it whole muscle, is it marbled, is it a slurry?
Fact or fiction?
What does the evidence say? Can we even perform an LCA yet?
We brew it, just like beer...
What type of production facilities will be required. e.g., positive pressure rooms, filtered air, strict biosecurity?
It's all in a name
What should this be called?
From bench to batch - scaling fast
What is the rate at which we can scale - can we go from 2L to 20,000L?
HOW MUCH ?!?!
What's the price consumers are willing to pay?
Green is a colour
CM facilities will require less land, but is the tech environmentally friendly?
Chicken nuggets or mammoth meat balls
Can we do this for all types of animal species, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, fish etc?
Fake news
A lot of companies, especially those producing commodity CM have grossly overstated progress and have not been held accountable for this - should they be?
Building BIG!
The volume to which mammalian cells can be scaled. Around 10,000L.
It's meat, but not as we know it
Is it nutritionally equivalent?
Will CM have the same nutritional profile as traditional meat?
Power to you!
These production systems are energy intensive and will require renewal energy sources to be more sustainable than traditional meat production
