Cellular agriculture represents a transformative approach to sustainable food production, offering solutions to global protein demands through advanced biomanufacturing techniques. This presentation highlights recent innovations in developing robust cell lines, novel scaffold materials, and optimized bioprocesses critical to the scalability and commercial viability of cultivated meat and alternative protein sources. We will discuss advancements in serum-free media formulations, strategies for efficient cell isolation and differentiation, and biomaterial scaffolds that support structured tissue formation and functionality. Our research demonstrates how integrating these technologies contributes significantly to improving product quality, reducing production costs, and enabling large-scale cultivation, thereby paving the way toward a resilient and sustainable food system.
