Hoxton Farms

The UK Government is - quite literally - putting their money where their mouth is. 🇬🇧 🤑 Yesterday they announced a £38 million investment from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council within UK Research and Innovation and from Innovate UK to establish the National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC). This funding represents a vital step towards strengthening food security and supporting the development of sustainable food technologies. As we work to meet the global demand for more sustainable food options, this kind of support is crucial. 🍽 At Hoxton Farms, we're innovating by producing cell-cultivated pork fat, which pairs perfectly with plant-based proteins to create delicious hybrid meat alternatives. While this investment in alternative proteins is a positive move, there's still more to be done. Emerging technologies like cultivated fat need continued financial and regulatory support to unlock their full potential. 🥓 We applaud the government’s commitment to driving innovation in the food sector and look forward to seeing further investment in the technologies that will shape the future of our food system. 🌍 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eMpi3jxr #Sustainability #FoodTech #Innovation #AlternativeProteins #CultivatedFat #FutureOfFood #HoxtonFarms #FoodSecurity

In today's edition of #CultivatingKnowledge we're unpacking the future economics of cultivated food! 🥩 As the cultivated meat industry gains momentum, scalability remains the key to making it a true alternative to traditional animal farming. A recent Nature Magazine Food study highlights a breakthrough in this journey, focusing on the continuous, cost-effective manufacturing of cultivated chicken using an animal-free medium. 👩🔬 The study zeros in on two critical cost drivers: bioreactor sizes with fed-batch processes and culture medium costs. By leveraging tangential flow filtration (TFF) and an animal-component-free (ACF) medium, the research shows that the cost of cultivated chicken could drop to around $6.20 per pound - bringing it closer to the price range of organic chicken. This is a game-changing advancement that could disrupt the meat industry and make cultivated meat more accessible to everyone. 🍽 🍗 Hats off to the Believer Meats research team for this accomplishment! Your contributions bring us one step closer to a world where cultivated meat is not just sustainable, but also affordable and scalable. 👏 👉 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eqVyKMUV If you're curious about the details and how this can help scale production while reducing costs, it's definitely worth a read. #CultivatingKnowledge #Sustainability #FoodTech #DeepTech #CultivatedMeat #Innovation #FutureOfFood #HoxtonFarms

🌱 In today's edition of #CultivatingKnowledge: Nature Magazine shines a spotlight on the future of cultivated meat! 🌱 At Hoxton Farms, we're not just cultivating pork fat—we're cultivating a future where delicious, sustainable food is accessible to all. Our mission to create a irresistible hybrid meat alternatives wouldn't be possible without the cutting-edge science and supporting ecosystem driving the cultivated meat industry forward. 🥓 A recent article in Nature Biotechnology does a brilliant job of highlighting the importance of addressing emissions from industrial animal agriculture. They also unpack the science that’s transforming how we produce meat. Most importantly, they note the importance of government support in line with broad public goals of sustainability and accessibility. 🤝 In a world first, cultivated meat has hit grocery shelves in Singapore, marking a milestone for the cultivated meat industry. With global meat consumption putting enormous strain on our environment, the potential for cultivated meat to reduce emissions, improve food security, and end the suffering associated with industrial farming is immense. However, for this vision to become a reality, governments must play a key role in supporting the development of this technology in line with public goals of sustainability and accessibility. 🌍 If you're ready to taste the future, this is the kind of innovation that’s setting the table for a new era of food production. 🍽️ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gps-fGaq #FoodTech #Sustainability #DeepTech #CultivatedMeat #Biotech #FutureOfFood

At Hoxton Farms, we're at the forefront of the #cellcultivated movement, a cutting-edge approach to producing real animal products—without the animals. In today's #CultivatingKnowledge we ask: what exactly is cultivated fat, and why is it a game-changer for the food industry? 🤔 Cultivated fat is real animal fat produced from stem cells, crafted in a controlled environment. This breakthrough technology allows us to produce fat that not only matches the taste and texture of traditional animal fat but also enhances the flavour and performance of meat alternatives. It also brings exciting new products to the market while offering a more sustainable way to enjoy the foods we love. It's fat-tastic! 🌟 Just a small amount of this fat can transform plant-based products into mouthwatering alternatives like pork belly, steak, and bacon, making it a low-inclusion, high-impact ingredient. It's the secret to achieving that rich, juicy flavour and satisfying mouthfeel that makes meat so irresistible. 🥓 Beyond its flavour-enhancing qualities, our cultivated fat also offers nutritional benefits. At Hoxton Farms, we can fine-tune the nutritional profile of our fat to meet specific dietary needs, such as lowering saturated fats or increasing beneficial fatty acids. This flexibility allows us to create healthier options without compromising on taste. 🥩 Cultivated fat offers a cost-effective solution for food brands looking to create high-quality meat alternatives. By using cultivated fat in hybrid products—combining plant-based proteins with our fat—we can achieve the desired taste and texture at a competitive price point. This not only enhances the consumer experience but also allows brands to scale their offerings more efficiently. 💵 Hoxton Farms cultivated fat delivers exceptional taste, nutrition and innovation in every bite.🍴 #HoxtonFarms #CultivatedFat #FoodInnovation #FoodTech #Biotech #MeatAlternatives
