Believer Meats

Cultivated meat is meat grown directly from animal cells. But how, you may wonder? We're here to walk you through it, step by step. Join us on a journey as we unravel the entire process of making our cultivated meat, starting from a final chicken dinner and working our way backwards until we reach the very source: a living, breathing animal. Because at Believer Meats, we're going back to the source, for the future we crave.

Believer Meats has signed an agreement with AGWA Abu Dhabi, the new food and water economic cluster in Abu Dhabi, to advance cultivated meat capabilities and regulatory pathways in the region. This partnership aligns with our vision for a global platform, offering an opportunity to demonstrate our scalable and replicable model for cultivated meat production in new markets.

Believer Meats is proud to partner with the first-ever Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein at North Carolina State University, supported by a $30 million grant from Bezos Earth Fund, to advance alternative protein production and commercialization. The time is now: Global demand for protein projected to double by 2050, and we need new solutions to bridge the gap in supply and demand. That's where our work comes in. North Carolina is well-positioned to lead this next chapter in alternative protein, supported by our commercial-scale cultivated meat facility in Wilson set to be operational by the end of 2024. Together, we’re helping to shape a more robust and resilient global food system.

Cultivated meat is the next big breakthrough in food technology, just like the electric car was in transportation. In Norway, electric cars transitioned from representing 2% of total purchases to over 70% within a decade. In the U.S., that figure, once less than 1%, is now approaching 10%. How did it happen? Technology, investment, visionary entrepreneurs, a shift in climate consciousness, time, and supportive policies—all aligning at the right moment. The vision of electric cars was a long-standing dream, but affordability was a gradual two-decade journey. Today, electric cars are accessible to a broader segment of the public. We believe that the cultivated meat industry's trajectory will be even swifter. Our company remains committed to offering products that not only meet but exceed consumer expectations, fulfilling all sensory aspects that consumers desire. It began as a bold, seemingly insane idea, but it's now embraced. We're on the brink of a future where new choices will grace your plate. We'll look back at today's meat landscape as we do at horse-drawn buggies—once practical, but now joined by innovative alternatives.

In celebration of World Vegan Day, we're exploring the question: "Is lab-grown meat vegan?" While this innovative technology has the potential to benefit animal welfare and the environment, its vegan status remains subjective and reliant on personal ethics at this point in time.

Cultivated meat, beautifully illustrated by the The New York Times Magazine for its readers and narrated by us below. Imagine you love chicken nuggets, but instead of getting them from a farm where chickens are raised, we can create them in a special way. Here's how it works: 1. First, bioengineers take a tiny piece of real chicken cells, almost like the tiniest piece of chicken you can imagine. 2. They place these cells in a special container with nutrients and let them grow, just like how breweries use tanks to create the perfect conditions for yeast to turn ingredients into beer. 3. When the cells grow enough, they are taken out, cleaned, and separated from any waste that might have built up. 4. Once there's enough of this meat, we use it to make delicious foods like nuggets, kebabs, and other delicious foods. Cultivated meat is like making meat from a few cells, without needing to raise a whole animal on a farm. It's a way to enjoy meat while using fewer resources and causing less harm to animals.✨ #cultivatedmeat #realmeat
