"Scientists are raising meat without animals. Instead of animal farms, companies like Aleph Farms and Mirai Foods use cells to grow steaks. A lifecycle study for cultivated beef found that producing meat in bioreactors with renewable energy could cut greenhouse‑gas emissions by 92 percent and land use by 90 percent compared with intensive cattle farming. Mirai Foods has even grown a tenderloin steak in just five days using its Fibration Technology. These breakthroughs aim to reduce the environmental toll of meat while meeting rising demand."
"Fermentation isn't just for bread or beer. Finnish startup Solar Foods grows a microbe called Solein using carbon dioxide, water and electricity. The company's bioprocess produces an all‑purpose protein powder without farming crops or animals. Solar Foods built its first commercial plant (Factory 01) and began production in April 2024. This approach points to a future where some proteins could be produced almost anywhere, using minimal land and water."
"Impossible Foods created an AI algorithm named Gusto that analyzes data about flavor, texture and nutrition to design plant‑based meats that mimic the real thing. The company uses this AI to refine its recipes and to develop new ingredients. On the robotics side, systems like Innovafeed's automated insect farm and field robots at vertical farms show how machines can handle tasks once done by people, addressing labor shortages and improving consistency."
Food technology transforms how food is produced, modeled, and consumed across multiple innovations. Cultivated meat uses cell culture to produce steaks without animals, promising large cuts in greenhouse‑gas emissions and land use, with Mirai Foods growing a tenderloin in five days. Fermentation platforms like Solar Foods generate protein from carbon dioxide, water and electricity, enabling production with minimal land and water and launching Factory 01 in April 2024. Artificial intelligence and robotics optimize flavor design, formulation and labor across vertical farms and insect farms, with AI algorithms and automated insect systems improving consistency and addressing labor shortages. 3‑D printing enables novel plant‑based product textures and customization.
