Problem
Industrial livestock farming contributes significantly to environmental degradation, raises animal welfare concerns, and often relies on antibiotics, posing risks to human health and ecosystems. Meeting the growing global demand for meat sustainably and ethically presents a significant challenge.
Solution
MyriaMeat utilizes cellular agriculture to produce real meat by cultivating animal cells in a controlled environment, eliminating the need for traditional livestock farming. The company extracts cells from animals to create cell lines, which are then used to grow tissue-engineered muscle that is biologically identical to conventional meat. This process replicates the natural growth of muscle tissue outside the animal, avoiding the need for slaughter and reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional meat production. MyriaMeat's approach results in meat products that are free from antibiotics, E. coli, and prions, offering a cleaner and more sustainable alternative. The company is focused on producing various types of meat, including Wagyu beef, pork, and deer meat, without the use of plant-based ingredients or scaffolds.
