The CRAFT Consortium has received a €2 million grant from EIT Food to develop the world’s first cultivated meat farm in the Netherlands, a project that aims to integrate cultivated meat production directly into traditional farms. This initiative seeks to show how cultivated meat can be produced alongside conventional livestock and crops, offering farmers a new way to diversify their businesses. According to Peter Verstrate, co-founder of Mosa Meat, the project will combine cellular agriculture with traditional farming, creating a new yet familiar business model that produces local, real meat. The consortium, which includes partners like Mosa Meat, Aleph Farms, and Wageningen University & Research, is working together to create a more sustainable and equitable food production system.
