About

Cellular Agriculture is the production of animal-based products from cell cultures rather than entire animals.

Interplanetary space travel and human space colonialization demand new methods to establish an effective and sustainable food supply.

Cellular Agriculture (and Cultured Meat in particular) emerges to become a major building block in a space nutrition system.

This blog aims to summarize the activities that are happening in this new industry.

I got in contact with the Cellular Agriculture world during my MBA. During my master’s thesis, I developed strategical options for Cultured Meat for a large pharmaceutical corporate.

Due to my technical background in Aerospace (PhD in Aerospace Engineering), I am particularly interested in the opportunities of Cellular Agriculture related to space travel and settlement.
