BSF will support Ivy Farm’s ongoing funding round to scale up technology for larger production-sized fermenters. Ivy Farm aims to produce 12,000 tonnes from a single efficient facility powered by renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 92% and land use by 90% compared to industrial farming. According to BSF, this is essential, given China’s annual consumption of over 100 million tons of meat, accounting for more than a quarter of global meat consumption.
