Meatable aims to resolve problems of food insecurity and the climate crisis caused by conventional livestock farming and meat production. The company has put in place, tech-enable solutions to scale cultivated meat production to be just as commercialised and affordable as traditional meat production, with minimal harm to animals and the planet at large, and without making concessions on taste or quality.
Daan Luining, co-founder and CTO of Meatable said: “Farming has been revolutionised in the past 100 years to keep up with feeding a growing global population. Cultivated meat is the next revolution. Meatable holds the promise to have unbeatable efficiency in comparison to both traditional meat production and the cultivated meat industry average, without compromising on quality. To achieve our vision of providing the world with harm-free meat, we have to be price competitive, and this means efficiency is key. This new funding will help us to further scale up, bring down production time even more and start producing cultivated meat for the world.”
