Formerly called | Cellular Agriculture Society |
From Fauna, formerly known as the Cellular Agriculture Society, is an international 501(c)(3) organization that has been involved in research, funding, advancement of, and most recently education in,[1] cellular agriculture.[2][3] It is based in San Francisco,[4] and was founded by Kris Spiros[a][6][7] in the early 2010s.[8]
In 2019, the Cellular Agriculture Society released 90 Reasons to Consider Cellular Agriculture, a pamphlet made available by the Harvard and Stanford digital libraries.[9][10] In 2023, they released Modern Meat, a freely available 600-page textbook[11] which was the first on the subject of cultured meat.[12] They have also created children's books, educational simulations, social science research, and designed the theoretical workings and architecture of a cultured meat facility through Project CMF,[13] which envisions what cultured meat production could look like in 2040.[14]
