Why have you chosen this specific sector to invest in?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea of cultured meat is actually quite old. In 1931, Winston Churchill published an article entitled \u201c50 years hence\u201d. One of his predictions was that \u201cwe shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the Netherlands, an entrepreneur called Willem Van Eelen campaigned vigorously for cultured meat to become truth. In 2008 he managed to secure government funding for a project which brought together scientists and people working in the meat industry to discuss the potential of cultured meat. <br \/>This is where Peter and Mark (Mosa Meat\u2019s CEO and CSO) first met. They were both so convinced of this idea that, even after the funding had been consumed, they continued to work on the project.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reason why Peter and Mark were both so taken by the idea was that they considered it as one of the possible solutions to the coming food crisis. According to FAO\u2019s reports the global meat demand will increase by 70% by 2050, but there isn\u2019t capacity to increase meat supply this much by using livestock. Furthermore, this would increase the negative effects of livestock production on the planet.<br \/>They decided to create Mosa Meat to make cultured meat a mass product, so that meat production would become less harmful for the environment, animals and the human health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4827317 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4827317\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Which is the first step that you have implemented when you decided to start with clean meat production?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first step consisted in creating a scientific prototype in order to show that it is scientifically possible to grow cells outside an animal\u2019s body. This was the famous hamburger that was unveiled to the world in a press conference hold in London in 2013.<br \/>It took 9 months to create the three hamburgers presented and the tireless labour from the scientists in the lab. They also cost EUR 250.000 each (this project was founded by Sergey Brin, a Google co-founder).<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 2013 event played a key role in raising awareness about this new technology, and encouraged the creation of a new brand in cultured meat industry.

Which impact do eco sustainability have on your motivation?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I strongly believe in the potential of cultured meat to reduce the suffering of animals and halt the disastrous environmental impact of livestock meat production.<br \/>I have an academic training in economics and some work experience in the animal welfare advocacy, and I have found out that it can be very difficult to convince people to change their food habits if it is too hard for them. Currently, it is not very easy for many people to become vegetarian or vegan, because they enjoy eating meat. When I first read about cultured meat in a magazine, I was very excited about this new technology, because it would allow people to continue eating meat without forcing animals to endure miserable lives in factory farms.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am also very concerned about the role that livestock production is playing in favouring the climate change, deforestation and a mass loss in biodiversity. It is shocking to think that 70% of the Amazon rainforest has already been cleared to leave room for cattle grazing. It is projected that cultured meat production will use 99% less land, meaning that vast areas could be reverted to their wild state (and resume their function as crucial carbon sinks).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b3fd91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b3fd91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Production process, main phases, raw material, Animal breeding<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The production process starts with cows. Livestock production is now on a very small scale, but in the future we could expect to have a herd of around 30,000 cows which could allow us to satisfy the global meat demand (and live in the most human conditions). We first take a painless 1-gram biopsy in order to obtain stem cells that can turn into muscle cells and fat cells.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stem cells are then fed on a mixture of nutrients and naturally-occurring growth factors and they begin to proliferate, just as they would do inside the animal\u2019s body. They proliferate until they reach trillions of cells. If we want stem cells to differentiate into muscle or fat cells, we simply have to remove the growth factors, and leave them to do it naturally. Cells are seeded on gel scaffolds, where they start to fuse together into rings. In this shape, cells begin to contract and put on bulk, eventually forming muscle fibres. When we layer muscle fibres and fat cells together, we get a hamburger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-055ad2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"055ad2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"538\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-hub.it\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mosa-Meat-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5243\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.food-hub.it\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mosa-Meat-3.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.food-hub.it\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mosa-Meat-3-600x404.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.food-hub.it\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mosa-Meat-3-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.food-hub.it\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Mosa-Meat-3-768x516.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa87d53 eael-divider-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-divider\" data-id=\"fa87d53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-divider-wrap divider-direction-horizontal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-text-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"divider-border-wrap divider-border-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"divider-border\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-divider-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"eael-divider-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"fa fa-arrow-circle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"divider-border-wrap divider-border-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"divider-border\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10653f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10653f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Production cost for 100g product?

Since we don\u2019t know how this production process will work on a large scale, we can only make suggestions about it.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bearing this in mind, our modelling indicates that if we scaled up this innovative technology a hamburger (which is roughly 100g) would cost about EUR10, definitely too expensive to compete with conventional animal meat-based products (a supermarket hamburger costs about EUR1). But the production system could be improved in such different ways so as to increase its efficiency and drive prices down to an equal or lower level than conventional meat products in the coming decades.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75ef680 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75ef680\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How important are Organoleptic characteristics for cultured meat products?

Our current assumption is that consumers do want cultured meat to taste like that they already eat and enjoy. But we need to investigate more on this and try to meet consumers\u2019 exigences \u2013 our main goal is to make consumers happy, as this is the only way for cultured meat to become a mass product. In terms of ingredients, we think that the key is to make cultured meat identical, or as similar as possible, to the animal one.
