For many of us, the idea of cultivated meat seems far away and at odds with our everyday food practices. But, as biotechnology advances, these new products could become a reality in the coming decades – more than a hundred companies worldwide are already making headway in developing foods from animal cells. Foods that will allow us to feed more people with fewer resources, while meeting an increasing demand for nutritious protein.

Our panel includes researcher Jette Feveile Young from Aarhus University; Jacob Schaldemose Peterson,CEO and co-founder of Curve (rebranded from Re:meat); and Ismaël Bawah from the Good Food Institute.

They will present techniques for producing cultivated meat, discuss how companies like Curve can support production, and provide a global overview of the field, including developments in the EU, the US, and Asia.

The event is open to everyone interested in the topic, from technical and scientific perspectives to societal and behavioural change perspectives.

What is cultivated meat?

Cultivated meat (also known as cultured, cell-based, or lab-grown meat) is real animal protein produced directly from animal cells in a controlled, slaughter-free environment, bypassing traditional livestock farming. It offers a sustainable alternative with the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water consumption. The process, which involves nurturing stem cells in bioreactors, aims to provide an identical, ethical, and efficient source of meat.

‍The event is organised by Biotech Heights, an innovation hub at Lund University.
