Aleph Farms in agreement to make cultured steaks for Japan

January 5, 2021 from the Meatingplace

"Israel-based Aleph Farms Ltd. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mitsubishi Corp.’s Food Industry Group to bring cultivated whole muscle meat to the Japanese table as early as 2022."

"Aleph Farms will provide its scalable manufacturing platform (BioFarm) for cultivation of whole-muscle steaks. Mitsubishi will provide its expertise in biotechnology processes, branded food manufacturing and local distribution channels in Japan.'

"The agreement also ties in with the Japanese government's goal of achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions. In April 2020, Aleph Farms committed to eliminating emissions associated with its meat production by 2025 and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030."
