Cultured Meat Pioneers Aleph Farms Commits to Carbon-Neutral by 2025

Israel’s cultured meat pioneer Aleph Farms today announces plans to reach net-zero emissions across its supply chain. Its sustainability strategy is to eliminate emissions associated with its meat production by 2025 and reach the same net-zero emissions across its entire supply chain by 2030.

Aleph Farms, Ltd., cultivates real steak without harming animals or the environment. Amid the COVID-19 health crisis, Aleph Farms consolidates its approach for food system resilience not only to cope with local and global supply chain disruptions that put food securitiy at risk, but also to promote natural ecosystem preservation and reduce friction points with wild animals.

The company says it is actively engaging in a dialogue with livestock farmers to integrate cultivated meat as part of a solution set to fundamental challenges that the agriculture industry is facing. Its move sets to limit global warming to 1.5°C as targeted under the Paris climate agreement and translate the European Green Deal resolutions into actionable climate practices that decrease ecological footprints of food production on a global scale.
