Through precision fermentation, engineered microbial “cell factories” can generate specific proteins that can serve as next-generation food ingredients.
Fermentation has evolved into precision fermentation, utilizing biotechnology to engineer microorganisms that produce high-value food ingredients. These "cell factories" create proteins and compounds, enhancing quality and reducing environmental impact.
When scaled to an industrial plant, SuperMeat's process is projected to produce 3 million kilograms (6.7 million lbs.) of cultivated chicken per year, equivalent to around 2.7 million chickens.
Believer Meats has signed a strategic partnership agreement with GEA to co-develop technologies and processes to improve the unit economics and sustainability of cultivated meat production.
The company has partnered with Luiten Foods to bring its cell-cultured Wagyu Beef to more than 25 European countries by 2025 with sustainability and climate as main motivations.
