Meatable: a sustainable solution for meat production.
Traditional meat production faces significant challenges related to the environment and society. Livestock farming is responsible for over 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it the second largest contributor to climate change. Additionally, 33% of arable land is used to feed livestock, and 70% of freshwater withdrawals are used in agriculture, despite only 3% of the world’s water being freshwater. These factors, along with soil degradation and zoonotic diseases, highlight the need for sustainable alternatives in protein production.
The Meatable proposition.
Meatable addresses these challenges by producing lab-grown meat, eliminating the need to raise and slaughter animals. Its patented technology, opti-ox™, allows for the rapid and efficient differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into muscle and fat cells. This process is significantly faster than conventional livestock production, enabling the creation of meat products in a matter of days.
Environmental and social benefits.
Meatable’s cultivated meat offers multiple advantages:
- Emission reduction: An estimated 75% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional livestock farming.
- Efficient resource use: Requires 99% less land and over 95% less water, mitigating soil degradation and water scarcity.
- Disease prevention: By eliminating the need to raise animals, the risk of zoonotic diseases and outbreaks like African swine fever and avian flu is reduced.
- Food security: Provides a sustainable source of protein, contributing to reducing global hunger and malnutrition.
Commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Real meat. Real science. Real solutions. It’s not like meat. It is meat.
This motto encapsulates Meatable’s approach: offering authentic meat with the benefits of scientific innovation. Meatable is dedicated to revolutionizing meat production, meeting global protein demand without compromising animal welfare or the environment. With this innovative and sustainable proposition, the company positions itself as a leader in the transition toward more responsible and efficient food systems, meeting the quality standards that society demands today.
