Breakthrough in cost-effective production of cultivated meat
A ground-breaking study led by Professor Yaakov Nahmias demonstrates a cost-effective method for producing cultivated meat through continuous manufacturing. The research, published in Nature Food, reveals that tangential flow filtration (TFF) allows for the scalable production of cultivated meat, reducing costs significantly. The study achieved high yields and introduced a cost-efficient, animal-free culture medium. This innovation could make cultivated meat a viable alternative to traditional farming, aligning with environmental and ethical goals. The study’s economic analysis suggests cultivated chicken could be produced at prices competitive with organic meat, marking a significant advance in cellular agriculture.
