Clem is a specialist in bio-medical engineering with a background in food manufacturing, and tissue engineering. Genovese is a stem cell biologist, who believes the best way to improve our international food system is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>innovate clean meat technologies<\/li>\n<li>use lab techniques to make the same animal meat we enjoy today<\/li>\n<li>but without negative impact on our planet + civilization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before he co-founded Memphis Meats: Genovese raised poultry on his family\u2019s farm, and says he has a special affection for chickens. He completed his university graduate research in\u00a0biology &#8212; and pioneered a new approach for livestock stem cell cultivation. He championed cultured meat in publications, scientific conferences, and press interviews. For Genovese, the goal is to engineer new, better ways to produce foods &#8212; that sustain the health and happiness of humans + animals.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">on the web<\/span> | learning<\/p>\n<p><em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biology\" >biology<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biomedical_engineering\" >bio-medical engineering<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stem_cell\" >stem cell<\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">image<\/span> | below<br \/>\n<em>lab grown meat: fried chicken by Memphis Meats<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kurzweilai.net\/images\/photo-lab-meat-no.-3.png\"><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class=\"alignleft  wp-image-319091 noshadow\" title=\"photo - lab meat - no. 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kurzweilai.net\/images\/photo-lab-meat-no.-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">image<\/span> | below<br \/>\n<em>lab grown meat: beef meatball by Memphis Meats<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kurzweilai.net\/images\/photo-lab-meat-no.-1.png\"><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class=\"alignleft  wp-image-318916 noshadow\" title=\"photo - lab meat - no. 1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kurzweilai.net\/images\/photo-lab-meat-no.-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"415\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">Cultured meats from livestock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Livestock are domestic animals raised on farms to become food: like chickens, sheep, lamb, duck, goats, rabbits, pigs and cattle. Farmed meat is a large and important part of the world economy, and an essential plate in most healthy diets. The modern idea is to craft meat that can pass for the naturally grown meat of animals from farms.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also called clean meat, because it&#8217;s safe for people and animals &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t slaughter the livestock. Lab grown meat could become an abundant opportunity to cure world hunger. Important philanthropists are looking at companies like Memphis Meats, thinking about strategies to bring basic health to developing countries where access to good food is limited.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">on the web<\/span> | learning<\/p>\n<p><em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cultured_meat\" >cultured meat<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cellular_agriculture\" >cellular agriculture<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Livestock\" >livestock<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Microbiological_culture\" >micro-biology culture<\/a><br \/>\n<em>Wikipedia<\/em> | <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bioreactor\" >bio-reactor<\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><img style=' float: left;

The company focuses on new consumer + enterprise digital technology &#8212; with potential to transform markets, and with strong management.<\/p>\n<p>Production cost of the cultured beef was $18,000 per pound. Production cost of the cultured poultry was $9,000 per pound. But Memphis Meats engineered a way to make it cheaper: the company reduced production cost to below $2,400 per pound. They&#8217;re planning on deeper cost reductions and making the product available to the public and food industry &#8212; by year 2021.<\/p>\n<p>This significant movement toward lab crafted meat could be our first look at daily life in the 2020s. With this science fiction style food just around the corner, mainstream writers and scientists are saying we&#8217;re finally on the cusp of understanding mysterious biological abilities: like tissue regeneration, healing, anti-aging, and the development of embryos. Eating synthetically crafted meat is also a step toward better animal welfare around the world, and activists believe that civilization is maturing to take on a more custodial role with our planet and its life.<\/p>\n<p>Atomico | firm news: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.atomico.com\/our-investment-in-memphis-meats\/\" >our investment in Memphis Meats<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">deck:<\/span> <em>Using technology to solve one of the world&#8217;s greatest problems.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">w. descriptions from:<\/span> <em>Wikipedia<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">w. descriptions from:<\/span> <em>Inhabitat<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class=\"alignleft  wp-image-319107 noshadow\" title=\"photo - petri dish - no. 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kurzweilai.net\/images\/photo-petri-dish-no.-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"dotted\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffaa00;\">about<\/span> | Memphis Meats<\/p>\n<p><em>our mission:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphismeats.com\/home\/#aboutus\" >Better Meats, Better World<\/a>.
