Greece
How to feed the next billion?
Cellular Agriculture Greece is a Nonprofit Organization Working Towards:
- Expanding cellular agriculture research and education opportunities in Greece and around the world
- Creating a vibrant collective of students, academics and professionals eager to learn about and contribute to this exciting new field
- Generating awareness among our peers about the opportunities associated with plant-based, cell-cultivated, and fermentation-derived protein
- Advancing alternative protein research and innovation across multiple disciplines
- Connecting members to career opportunities both within and outside of academia
We want to make a positive difference in the way we feed the world and creating a vibrant community in our birth country was the proper place to start.
what is cellular agriculture
Cellular agriculture is the production of animal-sourced foods from cell culture.
There are two kinds of agricultural products derived from cell culture: acellular products and cellular products. Acellular products are made of organic molecules like proteins and fats and contain no cellular or living material in the final product. Cellular products are made of living or once-living cells.
Products harvested from cell culture are exactly the same as those harvested from an animal (or a plant, as you’ll discover below!); the only difference is how they are made.
(New Harvest)
We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.
– Winston Churchill, 1931

More than three-quarters (77%) of soy is used as feed for livestock (source).
plant cultivation vs meat cultivation
Cell Cultivated meat is NOT a meat substitute,
IT is the Real Thing produced in a better way.
