Rising meat/protein demand and awareness for environmental protection needs are driving changed outlooks within the meat industry. The growing need for alternative protein sources to combat meat shortages along with a fast-growing population is enhancing the need for cultured meat production. However, persistent technical challenges in manufacturing and in deriving low-cost end-products hampers rapid growth potential.End-consumers are shifting their focus towards sustainable lifestyles, seeking meat with lower environmental impacts than resource-intensive traditionally-farmed meat. The UK is set to become a world-leading developer of cultured meat, with a predicted 31% (£1.7bn) market-share by 2030, supporting 9,200-16,500 new jobs.QuestMeat and Multus are pioneering biotechnology start-ups within the cultivated meats sector. Together with UCL, this consortium will develop 'CULT-GRO', a formulation for cultured meat production.This project will respond to the cultivated meat production need and deliver more sustainable, lower-emission alternative protein sources, with faster production and adaptive supply strategies of proven formulations at-scale. This will enable the UK's cultivated meat market to respond to food supply-chain demands more rapidly, reducing carbon emissions and addressing the shortages in meat globally.This project is anticipated to deliver transformative effects for QuestMeat and Multus, and will lead to a huge impact on the UK's cultured meat supply-chain. CULT-GRO is an enabler to catalyse/accelerate the commercial implementation of new cultivated meat products and provide multiple interface points for cell-line development, ingredient suppliers and cultured meat manufacturers. This project will benefit the UK economy, generating local and export revenues and headcount growth across the cultivated meat sector.

不断增长的肉类/蛋白质需求和环保需求意识正在推动肉类行业内的前景发生变化。随着人口的快速增长，对替代蛋白质来源的需求不断增长，以解决肉类短缺问题，这增加了对培养肉生产的需求。然而，制造和生产低成本最终产品方面持续存在的技术挑战阻碍了快速增长潜力。最终消费者正在将注意力转向可持续的生活方式，寻求比资源密集型传统养殖肉类对环境影响更低的肉类。英国将成为世界领先的人造肉开发商，预计到 2030 年将占据 31%（17 亿英镑）的市场份额，支持 9,200-16,500 个新就业岗位。QuestMeat 和 Multus 是人造肉领域生物技术初创企业的先驱。该联盟将与伦敦大学学院 (UCL) 一起开发“CULT-GRO”，一种用于培养肉生产的配方。该项目将满足培养肉生产的需求，并提供更可持续、更低排放的替代蛋白质来源，同时采用更快的生产速度和大规模经过验证的配方的适应性供应策略。这将使英国的养殖肉类市场能够更快地响应食品供应链需求，减少碳排放并解决全球肉类短缺问题。该项目预计将为QuestMeat和Multus带来变革性影响，并对英国的养殖肉类供应链产生巨大影响。 CULT-GRO 是促进/加速新型人造肉产品商业化实施的推动者，并为细胞系开发、原料供应商和人造肉制造商提供多个接口点。该项目将有利于英国经济，产生当地和出口收入以及整个养殖肉类行业的员工人数增长。
