4. History of Cultured Meat
培養肉の歴史
1894 - French Chemist, Pierre-Eugène-Marcellin Berthelot predicts the
idea of cultured meat.
1934 - Winston Churchill “In Fifty years we shall escape the absurdity of
growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or the wing by growing
these parts separately under a suitable medium."

5. 2001 - NASA begins experiments on cultured meat as potential food for
astronauts but deems the research to be in too much need for scientific
development.
2013 - The first cell-cultured hamburger was cooked and stated live on
air in London, England. Professor Mark Post created the burger at the
University of Maastricht.
2015 - The first cellular agriculture company working towards
cell-cultured meat, Memphis Meats, is founded by Uma Valeti and Nicholas
Genovese in the United States.

6. Cellular Agriculture
細胞農業
Cellular products are made of living or
once-living cells.
Cellular agriculture products include meat,
leather, fur, wood, offal.
Acellular products are made of organic
molecules like proteins and fats and contain
no cellular or living material.
Acellular agriculture products include casein,
gelatin, vanillin, omega-3 fatty acids,
ovalbumin.

10. Cell-cultured meat producers have many
opportunities beyond B2C products.
Examples of acellular agriculture companies Clara
Foods and Perfect Day showcase that ingredient
companies are huge opportunities for novel foods
in the cellular agriculture space.

11. Existing players in the meat industry
畜肉プレーヤー
Tyson’s venture arm has
invested in Mosa Meat. Also
notable to mention Tyson has a
5% interest in Beyond Meat.
An early investor in Memphis
Meats, investor in Aleph Farms
with a heavy interest in the
plant-based sector as well.
JBS has expressed interest in
the field but has not announced
any large scale commitments.
JBS is an important player to
watch because they are the
largest meat producer.

12. From the Tyson Ventures Website:
As part of the corporate commitment to
continually innovate, Tyson Ventures invests in
early stage companies. Established in 2016, the
$150 million fund invests in promising
entrepreneurial businesses that can benefit from
our scale and align with Tyson Foods’ corporate
strategy.

14. Patents in the space offer a strong opportunity for
small startups to have appealing exit strategies
amongst large meat players.
Research and Development phase is still in early
phases and there are still questions of efficiency,
price parity, and food safety that need to be
addressed.
