Timeline of cellular agriculture

This page is a timeline of major events in the history of cellular agriculture. Cellular agriculture refers to the development of agricultural products – especially animal products – from cell cultures rather than the bodies of living organisms. This includes in vitro or cultured meat, as well as in vitro dairy, eggs, leather, gelatin, and silk. In recent years a number of cellular animal agriculture companies and non-profits have emerged due to technological advances and increasing concern over the animal welfare and rights, environmental, and public health problems associated with conventional animal agriculture.
