Hello New Harvest,
Earlier this week I shared the first project that we’ve supported through the cellular agriculture Science Engine, a partnership between Robert Downey Jr.’s FootPrint Coalition, Experiment.com, and New Harvest.
I’m excited to share this next project. One of the reasons why we wanted to pursue this program is to explore more social research, to understand aspects of cellular agriculture’s progress beyond the laboratory.
With that, I’d love to share a project we’re co-funding that explores a very neglected area of research: the feasibility of cultured protein manufacturing in a developing country.

Demand for protein is growing fastest in emerging economies and cultured proteins are one approach for meeting the rising demand. However, most cultured protein production is located in high-income countries, like Singapore, the US, and Europe. To date, there aren’t any publicly available studies exploring cultured protein production's feasibility in developing countries.
This study will assess the barriers and opportunities associated with establishing cultured protein manufacturing in Thailand, which is one of the most cost-competitive locations in the world for manufacturing but currently lacks the technical support for food and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Breakthrough Institute is an organization that has already done some quality publications on cellular agriculture; we’re thrilled to be supporting them on this important, neglected work.
If you would like to send thoughts, insights, or words of encouragement to the lead researcher, Waverly Eichhorst, she can be reached at waverly....@colorado.edu
And for a sneak preview… this research was recently accepted for an oral presentation at the 8th International Scientific Conference on Cultivated Meaton October 10th!
Looking forward to sharing more soon.
Until next time,
Dr. Bre Duffy
