We believe that cellular agriculture can play a critical role in diversifying food production, strengthening food security and helping to meet growing global demand for protein and other products in a sustainable way.
We work across Australia’s entire cellular agriculture sector, convening conversations to identify and work on common, non-competitive priorities. We are inclusive and participatory in our approach and engage with a broad range of stakeholders on key thematic areas.
