Nailed it! But, well, closer to 100 than 50 years. Winston Churchill was an early supporter of cultivated meat. Who'd have thought? 🤔

🎉🌱 **BioCraft in Austria 2024** 🌱🎉

We would like to thank 🙏 the Ministry of Labour and Economy (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Wirtschaft) and the Federal Minister Mag. Dr. Martin Kocher for the invitation to participate in the Austrian Federal Government's Business Location Summit, "Invest in Austria 2024" (ABA – INVEST in AUSTRIA), held at the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace.

This summit was the largest of its kind to date, uniting over 200 companies from 29 countries 🌍, showcasing a melting pot of innovation and collaboration.

Shannon Falconer Ph.D. (CEO) and Claus Lux 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦(Director of Operations) from BioCraft had the honor of engaging in meaningful bilateral discussions and chats 🤝 with key figures such as federal minister Mag. Dr. Martin Kocher (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Wirtschaft ), Mag. Eva Landrichtinger (General Secretary), Eva Schiefermair (Cabinet of Federal Minister Martin Kocher), Dr. Henrietta Egerth (Managing Director of FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH), Dr. Birgit Tauber (Division Management Basisprogramm), and Marion Biber (Head of ABA – INVEST in AUSTRIA ). These conversations were enlightening and incredibly valuable to our mission.

We extend our deepest appreciation to FFG, the Ministry of Labour and Economy, and the Austrian Government for their continued support 🌟 in our journey towards developing Cultured Meat in Austria. Their belief in our vision has been further solidified with the approval of our second grant 🎖️, an essential milestone that empowers us to move forward with greater confidence and resolve.

Amazing news this week for pet lovers. 🐈

Bond Pet Foods has made their inaugural shipment to Hill's Pet Nutrition, where it will be used as an ingredient in pet foods people buy every day. 🐶

Bond uses precision fermentation "to more efficiently produce proteins like chicken, turkey and beef for pet food applications, without the need to raise and process farm animals." 🐮

These are exactly the kinds of collaborations we need and that we will be seeing more of to make pet food better for people, planet, pets, and farmers. 👩‍🌾

Congratulations to Founder and CEO Rich Kelleman and to the whole team. 🌟

The good folks at Green Queen Media are right on the money with their assessment about cultivated meat: it's a more sustainable, healthier, compassionate, and environmentally friendlier way to produce real meat, with a fraction of the impact on the environment and animals.

"Cultivated meat could provide a direct replacement for a large part of livestock or aquaculture emissions that alone comprise about 10% of the GhG footprint. The first cultivated meat products have been approved for sale in the US and Singapore and would have a major impact if the >100 startups in the space can solve production at scale."

If you're the founder of a food company, absolutely nothing beats seeing a happy customer enjoy your product. 🙏

Being the founder of a pet food company is no different. 🐈

Here's Oliver sampling a recipe with our cultivated mouse meat. 🐭

He doesn't know it (he's a cat), but he's part of history in the making. We're getting very close to takeoff. 🚀

It's hard to keep up on industry news when you're running a company--but also totally necessary. 📰

There are a few sources that get it just right: complete but concise, factual but funny, objective but insider. High up on that list is Daniel Skavén Ruben's FoodTech Weekly. If you work in foodtech, I highly recommend subscribing. 💯

Since we announced that we're using AI to fine-tune the nutrition profile of our cultivated meat, we've had tons of accolades, feedback and media attention. 💫

I wrote up a little explainer about how it all works. And I couldn't resist making another silly AI-generated "science pets" cartoon. It's a rainy Friday morning — let me have this moment :)

Announcing BioCraft's AI! ⚡⚡⚡

In my scientific opinion, there are at least two ways to leverage AI for cats and dogs:

1. Create cute cartoons of cats and dogs working in a lab
2. Create safe, nutritionally-optimized, cruelty-free pet food

Um….we’ll focus on the second.

Today we're announcing our proprietary AI platform. It is light years ahead of people in its understanding of the connections between nutrients and how they feed the growth of cells. 💻 🔮

It’s one of the reasons we can create real meat for pet food through cultivation at the same price as meat that comes from traditional methods of production.

And it’s why, as soon as 2025, we’ll be the meat in the commercially-available pet foods that pet parents buy every day. 🍖

That’s how we use AI for cats, dogs, and the planet. 🌏

Sometimes, as a scientist, the most exhilarating moments come not when your peer-reviewed, statistically-relevant sample-sized research gets published. 🤔

Sometimes they come when you see with your own eyes why you’re doing all the work in the first place. 👀

Today, in a very non-scientific taste trial, our Senior Stem Cell Scientist Robert Soukup's cats Fleming and Loisi showed a clear and distinct preference for cat food containing our BioCrafted meat vs. the same food without it. 📋 ✅

Real meat, cultivated from animals that can keep on living their lives. 🐔

Meat that’s good for the planet, pets, people — and pet food companies. 💯

10/10/2023

Finally some mainstream recognition about how traditional pet food is broken courtesy of Dr. Andrew Knight's peer-reviewed, ground-breaking study. 📋

Alternatives like plant-based, fermented and–ahem–cultured meat will all need to scale up massively to fix the pet food market, which is growing faster than the "meat-for-people" market. (Yes, I did almost write human meat 😂).

Thanks for the chance to shed some light on the environmental paw print of pet food! 🐾

"In the US alone, there are over 163 million domestic cats and dogs that rely on animal protein for most of their dietary intake. According to a study from 2017, their consumption accounts for up to 30% of the livestock industry’s overall footprint, including land use, water consumption, fossil fuel combustion and the distribution of chemical inputs."

Pet food companies are looking for ways to satisfy customer demand for kinder and more sustainable pet food options. 🐶

But another reason they're keen on alternatives like cultured meat is for supply chain stability. ⛓

Demand for pet food is on the rise, big time. 📈

But the supply chain for meat is increasingly precarious–both in terms of price shocks and availability. Covid was a huge wakeup call for this. 😷

As companies like BioCraft scale up sustainable, safe, and supply chain-secure cultured meat for pet food, the sky's the limit. 🌅

It's hard to be an animal lover. 💔🐑

Those of us who eat plant-based diets because we don't want to harm animals are also very likely to have cats and dogs at home. 🥑

And so we end up unwittingly fuelling cruel and unsustainable meat production every day. Dogs can be plant-based--though they don't all take to it--but cats, as obligate carnivores, are the real challenge. 🐈

But what if you could feed your pets real meat that didn't come from animals? 🤔

That's the promise of BioCraft, which makes meat from chicken, mouse, and rabbit cell cultures that will be in commercial pet food as soon as 2025. 🐭

Founder and CEO Shannon Falconer talks about her personal mission to make pet food good for animals, people, and the planet. 🌍

We know that dog parents want to feed their dogs protein. This is why we made nutritional yeast (nooch) the star ingredient in our Noochies! Organic Dog Cookies. Nutritional yeast delivers complete, bioavailable protein containing all 10 amino acids that dogs require, without using any animal ingredients! Nutritional yeast is also loaded with macronutrients. During the culturing of nutritional yeast, a group of beneficial B vitamins (B1, B2, B9) that previously weren’t in the yeast, become present. Nutritional yeast contains: *Complete bioavailable protein (without slaughter) *Fiber, minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc) *Natural vitamin B-complex All of which support your dog’s immunity!

Digestion: When foods are cultured they are broken down in a way that makes them easier for us to digest – think of this as predigestion. This is thanks to the presence of healthy bacteria. Bioavailability: Culturing makes nutrient absorption easier as it breaks down anti-nutrients in foods. Immunity: Macronutrients and macronutrients are produced through culturing—these are the protein, vitamins and minerals the body needs. How we use cultured ingredients: The healthy bacteria (a clinically-proven probiotic) in our Omega & Probiotic Sprinkles supports both gut and immune health! The nutritional yeast in our Noochies! Organic Dog Cookies and Pumpkin Noochies! Organic Dog Cookies contain complete, bioavailable protein, lots of fiber, minerals (including iron, selenium and zinc), and natural vitamin B-complex! #becauseanimals #loveallanimals #culturedmeat #slaughter-free #cruelty-free #culturedingredients #probiotics #nutritionalyeast
