RESPECTfarms enables farmers and food producers to create business opportunities with producing meat directly from animal cells. Cultivated meat is produced using tissue engineering techniques pioneered in regenerative medicine. This production method eliminates the need to raise and farm animals for food. RESPECTfarms repurposes existing farm infrastructures into cultivated meat facilities, ensuring that the protein transition happens faster, cost-effective, and more practical. This transition enhances farmers' livelihoods through a more sustainable business model.
