NEW HARVEST
An initiative accelerating breakthroughs in cellular agriculture
New Harvest strategically funds and conducts open, public, collaborative research that reinvents the way we make animal products - without animals. Their vision is a strong foundation of accessible, public, fundamental cellular agriculture research, upon which we can build a post-animal bioeconomy, where we harvest animal products from cell cultures to feed a growing global population sustainably and affordably. By applying advances in tissue engineering and synthetic biology to growing food, we can revolutionize the supply chain of animal products to continue to provide affordable and sustainable food to a growing population. We call this "cellular agriculture."
