Footprint of cell-cultured meat below that of factory-farmed meat by 2025
Description
Intensive R&D activities to meet this technological goal - challenges include raw materials (basal medium and growth factors) and capital expenditure (bioreactors)
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Cell-cultured Meat for Everyday Table
Description
1. We build a resilient global food system by resolving the feed-food competition. This is achieved by developing sustainable alternative animal protein sources. The milestones include:
- $300/kg cell-cultured meat by 2023
- Price parity with conventional speciality meat by 2025
- Price parity with conventional meat in general retail by 2030
2. We implement a continual improvement process for the cell-cultured meat industry to substantially shrink the environmental footprint of the conventional meat industry. The milestones include:
- Establishment of a Life Cycle Assessment methodology by 2023
- Footprint of cell-cultured meat below that of factory-farmed meat by 2025
- Parity for price and footprint in cell-cultured poultry by 2040
