Currently, 36% of global crop yield is consumed as animal feed and nearly 70% of all arable land is used for animal agriculture. Trouble is, the industrialized meat industry is wreaking havoc on the planet. Not only does producing one 1kg of beef consume 24kg of feed crops and tens of thousands of liters of water, but the impact it is having on the environment as a whole is unsustainable.

IntegriCulture is a cellular agriculture company that is developing cell-based meat as a sustainable protein alternative. Its low-cost, cell culture technology, CulNet System, is a new platform designed to expand the reach of cell-culturing into foods and leather made from animal cells. The system mimics the intercellular interactions environment present in animals and, in theory, can be used to culture multiple types of animal cells at scale and at low cost.
