BIOTECH FOODS is among the few leading initiatives worldwide that develops technology for the production of Cultured Meat. Industrial livestock production presents a growing problem on a global scale in terms of animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and human health. Biotech Foods develops technology to produce cultured meat, in which animal tissue is grown in a controlled environment using cell culture technology, thereby making the raising and killing of animals for food unnecessary. This approach shows great potential of meeting all the requirements of a humane, sustainable and healthy form of meat production.
