🎉 Dr. Nadine Geiser (World Fund) for joining the Board! 
We wholeheartedly agree with her comment in TechCrunch: “The farming, agriculture and land use category is responsible for around 22% of emissions globally, but receives just 12% of venture funding for climate, so it’s critical we back more startups like Farmless, which has the potential to drastically reduce land use from agriculture, and to improve biodiversity globally.”

Onwards 🚀

Ryan Bethencourt and fellow leaders in #cultivatedmeat industry share their views with AgFunder:

"... it seems somewhat premature to write off an industry that didn’t even exist a decade ago because it can’t immediately compete with a heavily subsidized industry (industrialized animal agriculture) and associated ecosystem that has been scaling up and driving efficiencies for decades."

Most all transformative technologies follow the Gartner Hype Cycle and #cultivatedmeat is one of many finding its path to the "Slope of Enlightenment ✨ " and beyond!

There is more to build 🚀
