Yali Bio
A synthetic biology platform to tailor-make food compositions from renewable feedstocks.
How does it work?
Yali Bio is building a platform to create fats which enhance the quality of plant based meat alternatives. The company combines synthetic biology, deep learning and genomics tools to produce more sustainable fats compared to oils currently used in plant proteins, however without loosing the flavour and texture found in animal products.
Why is it needed?
Land-based agriculture and animal farming has caused devastating deforestation and climate change. By creating a climate-smart food system, Yali Bio reimagines how we cultivate foods to be environmentally sustainable.
How does it improve life?
Yali Bio is cutting emissions within food production. Their precision fermentation cultured solution means that Yali Bio's fat produce less than 0.5 kg of CO2 per serving, compared to 15 kg for beef, 4 kg for pork, and 2 kg for butter.
