CRAFT
CRAFT enables farmers to produce cultivated meat as a complementary, decentralized, and resilient income model. The goal of the project is to commercialize cultivated meat farms, bringing together technologies from different tech pioneers and integrating them with agricultural practices.
Challenge
European farmers are under pressure:
- Increasing production costs
- Regulatory complexity
- Sustainability demands
- Margin pressure from retailers
- Public debate around animal protein
We need to develop solutions that:
- Strengthen production resilience
- Reduce environmental pressure
- Preserve food security
- Enable technological leadership
Opportunity
Cultivated meat offers a new approach to protein production. RespectFarms researches how to:
- Enable decentralized cultivated meat production
- Diversify farm income
- Increase profitability
- Reduce resource intensity
Envisioned to enable farmers, not replace them, we design our products specifically for farmers, one of the biggest industries in the world.
CRAFT is supported by EIT Food, the world's largest food innovation community, co-funded by the European Union.
