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 product]]s - from [[cell culture]]s rather than the bodies of living organisms.  This includes [[In vitro meat|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 [[Animal rights|rights]], [[Environmentalism|environmental]], and [[public health]] problems associated with conventional animal agriculture.<ref name="animalist">{{cite web |url=https://medium.com/@TheAnimalist/cellular-agriculture-for-a-brighter-future-142058ff6d1a#.vqlb0g1gf |title=Cellular agriculture for a brighter future |date=March 22, 2016 |accessdate=June 6, 2016}}</ref>

The content on this page is forked from the English Wikipedia page entitled "Timeline of cellular agriculture". The original page still exists at Timeline of cellular agriculture. The original content was released under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA), so this page inherits this license.

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.[1]

Timeline

Year Event

1930 Frederick Edwin Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead predicts that "“It will no longer be necessary to go to the extravagant length of rearing a bullock in order to eat its steak. From one 'parent' steak of choice tenderness it will be possible to grow as large and as juicy a steak as can be desired."[3]
1932 Winston Churchill writes "Fifty years hence we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium."[3]

2008 The In Vitro Meat Consortium holds the first international conference on the production of in vitro meat.[11]
2008 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals offers a $1 million prize to the first group to make a commercially viable lab-grown chicken by 2012.[5]
2011 The company Modern Meadow, aimed at producing cultured leather and meat, is founded.[12]
2013 The first in vitro hamburger, developed by Dutch researcher Mark Post's lab, is taste-tested.[13]
2014 Muufri and Clara Foods, companies aimed at producing cultured dairy and eggs, respectively, are founded with the assistance of New Harvest.[14][15]
2014 Real Vegan Cheese, a startup aimed at creating cultured cheese, is founded.[16]
2014 Modern Meadow presents "steak chips", discs of lab-grown meat that could be produced at relatively low cost.[12]
2015 The Modern Agriculture Foundation, which focuses on developing cultured chicken meat (as chickens make up the large majority of land animals killed for food[17]), is founded in Israel.[18]
2015 According to Mark Post's lab, the cost of producing an in vitro hamburger patty drops from $325,000 in 2013 to less than $12.[19]
2016 New Crop Capital, a private venture capital fund investing in alternatives to animal agriculture - including cellular agriculture - is founded. Its $25 million portfolio includes in vitro meat company Memphis Meats and in vitro collagen company Gelzen, along with Lighter, a software platform designed to facilitate plant-based eating, a plant-based meal delivery service called Purple Carrot, a dairy alternative Lyrical Foods, the New Zealand plant-based meat company SunFed Foods, and alternative cheese company Miyoko’s Kitchen.[20]
2016 The Good Food Institute, an organization devoted to promoting alternatives to animal food products - including cellular agriculture - is founded.[21]
2016 Memphis Meats announces the creation of the first in vitro meatball.[22]
2016 New Harvest hosted New Harvest 2016: Experience Cellular Agriculture, the first-ever global cellular agriculture conference.[23]
