**Motivation:** Animal agriculture consumes 70% of agricultural land and 27% of global freshwater, whilst causing 15% of global greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 50% of global antibiotics use (accelerating antibiotic-resistance), and the slaughter of 80bn animals annually\[UN\_FAO\_2016; Science\_2018\]. Cocoa plantations have caused up to 70...

The UN's goal of eliminating hunger will be missed by 660m people (WHO) with food production needing to increase by 50% by 2050 and projected protein provision being insufficient for healthy diets. Traditional food production cannot meet this demand, with livestock agriculture already consuming 70% of available arable land and 27% of global freshwater. It...

For the third year running, cocoa demand has outstripped supply, with a 2023/24 deficit of 462,000 tons predicted by the International Cocoa Organization. Consequently, in April 2024, cocoa prices reached an historic high of USD12,261/ton, compared to around USD3,000/ton in April 2023\. Cocoa yields, which are expected to fall by 11.7% in 2023/24, are alr...

With the global population projected to approach 10 billion by 2050, the demand for food is increasing. Alternative protein sources, including cultivated meat and seafood, can play a critical role in meeting this demand while reducing the environmental impact of intensive animal agriculture. Multus is a leader in the development of animal-free culture med...

The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations predicts that food production must increase by 50% by 2050 to feed a global population of 10bn. Feeding this growing population with finite land and water resources is one of the greatest challenges facing humankind. Livestock agriculture currently consumes 70% of available arable land and ...

With a growing global population and increasing global consumption of meat, it is essential to move to more sustainable methods of food production to mitigate our climate impact. Cultivated meat has the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by growing meat directly from a sample of cells taken from an animal. This reduces land use, an...
