The technology has been there in pharma for years, but they haven't bothered to develop for cheap food products because costs were too high. Costs have already been dropping and pilot food programs are going now, but the 2030 future is about scale. Tony Seba predicted that once cultured meat figures out how to scale it will dominate traditional meat on cost during this decade. Ark Biotech understands this and is attempting to leapfrog to a scalable design right now. Who knows if it works, but the claims of cost reduction are not wild - they are simply basic economics of scale achieved in other industries.

Thanks, Though the ultimate goal could be the perfect steak, I am hoping for the low end, that is meat or dairy ingredients for casseroles, stews, chili, sausage, and spaghettis. Also, there is great concern about additives. There is reaction against "Ultra Processed" foods. It would be problematic to create a meat substitute and then just make it just another ultra processed food.
I love steak, but I was destroying my health and my world with my total meat consumption. 90% of the problem is the junk hamburger and chicken nuggets I was eating all week. These things have meh flavors/textures anyway, so I just switched to beans. Junk burger and chicken is easier to bioreact and will happen first and solve most of the issue. I will still be eating real steak on special occasions.
It is an interesting dynamic that we are involved in a "Diet War" at the same time that we face a climate crises . My interest in cultured meat is that it may reduce the impact of meat farming upon the climate and address world human nutrition issues. Fortunately, world population will peak at the end of this century, with a gradual decline there after. Cultured food as a tool will hopefully ease our burden upon the land and at the same time feed the world.
Short answer: Industrialized production of amino acids can be obtained through bulk extraction from protein hydrolysates, chemical synthesis, or microbial fermentation and purification, with the latter being the most common. See all the details here: gfi.org/science/the-science-of-cultivated-meat/deep-dive-cultivated-meat-cell-culture-media/ See the 'Buffering systems' section for more information on carbon. See the 'L-glutamine' and 'Trace elements (minerals)' sections for more info on nitrogen.
Sounds too good to be true, but I want to believe it! Finally somebody with Silicon Valley thinking. 🙏 P.S. Do you know if it has anything to do with Ark Invest? I could not quickly google any connection.

Cultivated meat is so, so, so, so, so, so important. Thank you so much for sharing.

really want to see this take off! would remove a lot of my moral qualms about meat eating....

Yeah good points

Yet we trust ultra processed medicine produced the exact same way.
Yet we trust processed medicine made the exact same way.
Soylent Green is people!!!
Cows and grass has been with us forever.
So they have. That said, maybe it's time to not rely on them so much and figure out more sustainable ways to feed billions of people.
Not Forever. Our ape ancestors weren't dairy or beef addicts
When will this be mainstream ? Precision fermentation or lab grown meat ? Looks like it cannot be scaled up.
We are still very early days.
Is this like a dyson air multiplier mated with an air compressor?
And then Inside a fish tank.
Ill eat this , future looking better
What is the source of carbon and nitrogen to make the amino acids in cultured meat?
Short answer: Industrialized production of amino acids can be obtained through bulk extraction from protein hydrolysates, chemical synthesis, or microbial fermentation and purification, with the latter being the most common.

No there’s no relation to Ark Invest.
