Cellulaire Agricultuur Nederland
Encouraging Cellular Agriculture (CA) in the Netherlands and worldwide
Global demand for meat and dairy is expected to increase in the coming decades. Given the impacts caused by current agriculture practices, there is a lot of attention on alternative proteins. Cellular Agriculture refers to a collection of promising innovative technologies by which meat and dairy products can be made from cells in an animal and planet-friendly way.
Cellulaire Agricultuur Nederland is a consortium of entrepreneurs, scientists, academics, pioneers, and food lovers who see cellular agriculture as a powerful tool to make our food system more sustainable while maintaining the delicious, safe, and nutritious meat and dairy products people enjoy.
The consortium currently consists of more than twenty-five people representing a variety of entities. In 2021, the consortium established the Cellular Agriculture Netherlands Foundation as its legal representative. The aim of the foundation is to support and propagate cellular agriculture by implementing the National Growth Plan for Cellular Agriculture.
