The scientific status quo and the implementation of the latest production methods may sound like science fiction, but are now reality and are increasingly making their way into our modern food industry each and every day.
New food systems and novel foods are trendy. Start-ups are offering a particularly broad spectrum and established food producers are looking to find innovative production methods. Proximity to farming does not necessarily have to be lost in this process. Raw materials from plant production form the basis for nutrient media and growing media. Cheese without cows, but animal cells nonetheless? Chocolate from breweries or guacamole from bioreactors – topics that the Inhouse Farming – Feed & Food Show will be dealing with intensively.
But what is actually meant by cellular agriculture? Cellular agriculture is an innovative food production method in which animal products such as meat, milk oreggs and plant products such as fruit and vegetables are produced in vitro (in the laboratory).
This food production method has the potential to foster sustainable and ethical food production, as it possibly requires the use of less land, water and energy and causes fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the sustainability of the entire agricultural primary production can also increase. The topic of cellular agriculture also includes cultivated meat, which is also often referred to as in-vitro meat or cell-based meat.
Although it will still be some time before the production costs are roughly on a par with those of conventional production and these products are approved for sale, a glimpse into the future is guaranteed at the Inhouse Farming – Feed & Food Show.
The trade fair offers manufacturers of reactors, food tanks, decanters and all kinds of equipment that are needed for the commercial and industrial production of these novel foods the ideal platform for business and professional dialogue.
Topics
Vertical Farming
Vertical farming offers a wealth of possibilities for producing a sufficient quantity of fresh food in very constricted spaces. Proximity to major urban centres enables short distances, particularly in terms of the downstream supply chain, and…
Alternative proteins
Alternative proteins are a promising option for meeting the growing global population’s rising demand for sources of protein. In contrast to conventional sources of protein such as meat, eggs and dairy products, alternative proteins are obtained from…
Aquaculture, Aquaponics
Aquaculture in closed-loop systems, also referred to as RAS (recirculating aquaculture system), is becoming increasingly important. In this process, fish are bred in tanks or pools and the water is continuously cleaned and reprocessed using various…
Algae
Cultivating algae in closed-loop systems is a promising method of producing them in a controlled environment. In contrast to cultivating algae in open water systems, closed-loop systems offer increased productivity and control over the quality of the…
High-value crops
High-value crops (HVC) are agricultural products that have a higher market value compared to conventional crops. This is usually due to the fact that they are only cultivated in limited quantities or that they are suitable for specific purposes or…
Cellular agriculture, bioreactors
Cellular agriculture is an innovative food production method in which animal products such as meat, milk and eggs and plant products such as fruit and vegetables are produced in vitro (in the laboratory).
Energy concepts
Energy concepts for a sustainable energy supply. As regards project planning or the conversion of existing concepts, it is therefore crucial to also give thought to the issue of energy supply. Approaches are offered by renewable energies such as…
Insects
Insects offer a promising option for supplying high-quality, alternative proteins for food and feed production. Insect breeding is a sustainable alternative to conventional animal production, as it requires less space and fewer resources and emits…
