Collaboration to bring cultivated meat to Japan will help the country meet climate change and food security goals
We’re excited to announce that we signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mitsubishi Corporation’s Food Industry Group to bring cultivated meat to the Japanese table. We will provide our proven, scalable manufacturing platform (BioFarm™) for cultivation of whole-muscle steaks. Mitsubishi Corporation will provide its expertise in biotechnology processes, branded food manufacturing, and local distribution channels in Japan.
“The MoU with Mitsubishi Corporation’s Food Industry Group marks an important milestone for us, as we methodically build the foundations of our global go-to-market activities with selected partners,” notes Didier Toubia, Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms. …
As part of a national policy plan to establish Israel as an alternative protein leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the first head of state to taste meat cultivated outside of a cow
Positioning the nation at the forefront of a global alternative protein ecosystem, Israel’s Prime Minister visited Aleph Farms, a cultivated meat company and tried out its cultivated steak. The company is a pioneer in growing real meat directly from cow cells under controlled conditions, using a fraction of the resources required for raising an entire animal for meat and without antibiotics. …
Aleph Farms lays the foundation towards soft launch of its cultivated beef steak and has entered first phase in construction of its BioFarm™
Today marks a significant milestone for Aleph Farms — we are moving towards scale. Introducing a prototype of our first commercial cultivated steak. This prototype was cultivated using our proprietary platform which is now ready to grow steaks at our BioFarms™.
Our steaks, grown directly from non-GMO cells of a happily living cow, boast the nutritional, culinary, and sensory attributes of the meat we know and now, thanks to our new production capabilities, it will be the same cost too. Since we shared our proof-of-concept in 2018, not only have we increased the size of our slaughter-free steaks, we have adapted it to fit controlled, automated bioprocesses to ensure economic viability in large-scale production. …
We are excited to announce the launch of our space program, Aleph Zero.
This mission will forward our vision for advancing food security by producing fresh quality meat anywhere, independent of climate change and of availability of local natural resources. We are introducing new capabilities for locally producing fresh, quality meat even in the most harsh and remote extraterrestrial environments, such as space.
To achieve this goal, we are securing strategic partnerships with technology companies and space agencies for long term collaborative research and development contracts that will ensure the integration of our cellular agriculture innovations into leading space programs. These programs will leverage our deep-rooted expertise in cell biology, tissue engineering, and food science to establish BioFarms™ (our large-scale meat cultivation facilities) in extraterrestrial environments, enabling us to eventually apply the lessons learned in space to earthbound sites. …
Didier Toubia, Co-Founder and CEO of Aleph Farms sat down for a conversation with Lisa M. Keefe, Editor in chief of Meatingplace, premier meat joint made for all to get together.
In a fractious time in society, Didier Toubia preaches a message of unity and teamwork across industry lines and points of view.
That is, Didier Toubia has no interest in painting cultivated meat — his company’s raison d’etre — as a better choice than conventional meat harvested from a slaughtered animal, as most plant-based meat substitutes routinely do in their marketing messages. …
