SO,
why respectfarms?
Respect for All
Cultured meat drastically reduces land use, water consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, and suffering of animals. We empower the farmers and make them more independent in the value chain.
Respect for Farmers
We repurpose existing farm infrastructures into cultured meat facilities, ensuring that farmers can continue to create value. This transition enhances farmers' livelihoods through a more sustainable business model.
Farming Reimagined
CELL SOURCE
We utilize animal cells as the foundation for our meat, ensuring no harm to the animals in the process.
CELL NOURISHMENT
We cultivate specific crops that are essential to nourish and grow our meat cells.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
We create a sustainable production environment.
SAFE
We possess extensive knowledge in food safety, which is crucial for producing safe and healthy cultured meat.
LOCAL
By focusing on local markets, we offer products that meet the preferences of our community.
SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS
COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL BEEF
Per farm per year:
- 840 Tonnes of CO2 Reduced
- 1 Tonne of Ammonia Eliminated
- 3 Tonnes of Nitrogen Saved
- 10 Tonnes of Methane Cut Down
- 3 Million Litres of Water Conserved
This results in a significant cost reduction. It cuts the societal costs by half compared to conventional meat, according to the True Price Analysis.
Significant savings for the society
Our latest findings show that by 2030, the RESPECTfarms way of producing cultivated meat from farms can lower the external costs 2 to 3.5 times compared to conventional Dutch meats like beef, chicken and pork. Read more
Currently, we're in the phase of seeking funding
Diversifying our eating habits will create the demand for new, innovative ingredients that will help restore the environment in more ways than one. We are looking at investors and partners that want to add new food to the table and join the road towards meat from cells made on farms. Our focus positions the company attractively for investors who are keen on sustainable and innovative food technology solutions. This in combination with a model that can be operationalized relatively quickly. The funding strategy includes a mix of subsidies, sponsoring, and pre-seed loans.
stage gated approach
Stage 1. Blueprint
The initial blueprint for converting livestock farms into cultured meat farms was developed and implemented as a digital prototype. This stage included the design and feasibility of modular production units, which allows for experimentation and adaptability. This phase has been executed already.
Stage 2. Proof of Concept
The proof of concept for the cultured meat production process is currently being developed and tested. This included the design and optimization of the cultured meat production techniques.
Stage 3. Scalability
The scalability of the project will be addressed with the expansion of the proof of concept to other locations. The roadmap involves optimizing the proof of concept, growing the network, and preparing a large-scale rollout.
Stage 4. Rollout
The goal is to achieve a network of farms, using the blueprint to replicate the model across multiple locations, and scaling the production capacity to farms arount the world.
Our Partners and Sponsors
As a system integrator, we partner with the pioneers along the value chain and from different sectors. These partners are from the field of technology, processing, financing, farming, and animal welfare.
Together, we have been executing the first ever research on whether cultivated meat on farms is possible. This two-year research hast been finalized.
