For most of human history, farming was local. Food was produced close to where it was consumed.

Over the last century, industrialisation and globalisation have transformed agriculture into a vast, interconnected system.

While this global supply chain made food more affordable, it also created significant vulnerabilities to climate shocks and global disruptions.

Farm-grown cultivated meat offers a new possibility: producing meat closer to where people live and eat. By combining biotechnology with farming, it could help bring part of food production back to the local level.
