Amino acid cost and supply chain analysis for cultivated meat

Amino acid cost and supply chain analysis for cultivated meat: Pathways to more affordable, scalable, and sustainable protein production December 9, 2025 The Good Food Institute and MG Consulting Speakers: Elliot Swartz, PhD and Marie Gibbons, MSc ***************************************************************** Access the full report, summary, and technical highlights: https://gfi.org/resource/amino-acid-cost-and-supply-chain-analysis-for-cultivated-meat/ Access the slide deck: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/amino-acid-cost-and-supply-chain-webinar-dec-9-2025-pdf/284562104 ***************************************************************** Amino acids are among the largest cost drivers in cultivated meat production, but a new analysis shows clear opportunities to lower costs and scale production. Watch this webinar to explore findings from a new white paper that evaluates pathways to unlock a cost-effective, scalable amino acid supply for the cultivated meat industry. This first-of-its-kind analysis draws on real-world price data, industry interviews, and future demand modeling to identify where cost drivers and supply bottlenecks may emerge and how innovation can keep pace. Watch the webinar to learn: -- Why the amino acid cost contribution to cultivated meat production is significantly lower than previously reported -- How agricultural byproducts show promise as affordable alternative amino acid sources -- Which amino acids pose the greatest long-term cost and supply risk This analysis explores how suppliers, producers, researchers, and policymakers can work together to build a resilient, affordable amino acid supply chain that helps unlock scalable, sustainable cultivated meat production. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ About The Good Food Institute: The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working internationally to make alternative proteins like plant-based and cultivated meat delicious, affordable, and accessible.
