New Age Meats makes meat from animal cells instead of animal slaughter. They can craft meat to be tastier, healthier, and more sustainable than meat made any other way.

New Age Meats focuses on improving the environment, human health, and animal well-being. Making meat from cells reduces greenhouse gases by 96% while using 99% less land, 96% less water, and 45% less energy.

Because animal factory farming creates antibiotic-resistant bacteria, humans are now using antibiotics of “last resort” to prevent deadly infections. And more antibiotics are used on pigs per pound than on any other animal – 4x more than cows.

In the future, we won’t need cells or meat from animals, allowing them to live their own, natural lives.
