"Cellular agriculture is where solar power was 20 years ago, and EV batteries were 10 years ago."
👇Free, ethical money for anyone who's paying attention.
This succinct, 5-minute article by The Telegram overviews Agronomics and the current state of cell-agriculture. (removepaywall.com bypasses paywalls)
Important highlights:
"Moore’s Law is cutting costs from exorbitant levels to something closer to “griddle parity” at lightning-speed. It is a fair bet that “cell-ag” will become the next Nasdaq darling as investors tire of the AI boom."
"It is hard for a small investor to buy into this story. The start-ups are all private equity ventures. [Agronomics] is the only listed equity in the world today that offers a pure play on this technology, with a portfolio of holdings covering meat, dairy, dog food, fish, chocolate, leather and cotton."
"Much of the Western public will resist, though it is amazing what they routinely eat today.
The first-movers are likely to be in the Gulf and city states with no pasture. They will be in China where water is running out and ever-rising food imports are a strategic liability."
"Vested interests are starting to resist furiously but they are not fools. Cargill, Tyson, Nestle, and Brazil’s JBS are all investing in cell-ag as a hedge. “They can see the writing on the wall.”"
"Lab-farming should help us meet surging world food demand as another two billion people move up the protein ladder. Ultimately it will eat into Big Ag’s $5 trillion market. We can then restore degraded lands and start reclaiming our forests.
And yes, it is going to make another wave of tech investors filthy rich."

$ANIC mkt cap of $110M as of 5/15/24 will 5x within 5 years. Unreal opportunity for retail investors.

Turns out crops have a lot in common with crude oil.
We talk about the future of food with @NewHarvestOrg’s @IshaDatar. 👇🏼
"Food and Ag is the same as Energy. It's all about value-adding."
@IshaDatar coined the phrase "cellular agriculture". Her team @NewHarvestOrg grows food from cells.
She sees big opportunities in Canada...

Would you eat lab-grown meat?

Great podcast with @mgeist and @pcarrescia on the weak link between patents, innovation, and return!
V important convo especially for technologies for the public good like cell ag, especially as govts (that tend to equate patents w/ innovation) begin to fund this
The government has been pushed to strongly link its innovation strategy to patents. But what if the correlation is weak at best and may even be harmful to startups that fuel innovation? @pcarrescia joins the @lawbytespod podcast this week to discuss.

Let's play woman/POC/ED in STEM bingo, alma mater event edition:
✅Asked by a faculty member if the man standing beside me, who I introduced as a colleague, was my husband
✅Asked by event attendee if the man across the room with the same skin color as me was my husband

I'd love to be wrong on the last point but need to see evidence.
Happy that cell ag/my work is being celebrated visibly but would love to see that come from a place of institutional support instead of solely stories from people who once paid tuition.
