4、ations 42Sources Used 5945In recent years,there has been growing awareness and emphasis on finding innovative solutions to address the nutrition needs and tastes of a growing segment of the global populace that has avoided conventional meat either because of cultural reasons or cruelty.Against this
5、backdrop,the emerging potential and technological innovations in cultivated meat have piqued the interest of investors and potential consumers.Developing nations across the world including India continue to grapple with malnutrition.So,the cultivated meat industry could play an important role as an
6、alternative source of protein for the growing population and provide investment opportunities considering the low cost of labor in India and the enormous pool of talent in biotechnology.As the global demand for meat is expected to double by 2050,countries like India can reap the first mover advantag
7、e by drafting regulations for cultivated meat.Given the growing focus on sustainability,the focus on cultivated meat is timely,and will enable us to address some of the most important United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)such as climate change;industry,and innovation;zero hunger;life on
8、 land,etc.I am happy to see a detailed research report on a sunrise sector that will provide the policy makers in India useful insights on the legislations adopted by various countries like Israel and Singapore to support the growth of the cultivated meat sector.The proactive measures adopted by the
9、 Government of India to attract investments such as the single window system,Startup India,India Industrial Land Bank,Production Linked Incentive Scheme,the establishment of separate dedicated Ministries to deal with the livestock sector,etc.have gone a long towards boosting investor interest and co
10、nfidence in our Honble Prime Ministers vision of“Make in India”.P REFACE Invest India has always played a proactive role in assisting the government with policy analysis,facilitating inter-ministerial discussions on topical issues,and creating a roadmap for sunrise sectors.The collaboration between
11、Invest India and the Good Food Institute India has culminated in the creation of a very insightful report on the opportunities,investment trends,and potential of the cultivated meat sector.Since India is yet to draft regulations for cultivated meat,this study will play an important role in creating
12、awareness about this sector and to also quell misconceptions amongst consumers.Kudos to the Animal Husbandry desk at Invest India and the Good Food Institute India for this wonderful report!Chief Operating Officer at Invest India,Ministry of Commerce&Industry,Government of India.Priya Rawat76FO RE W
13、O R DThe global demand for protein is likely to double by 2050,due to changing food consumption patterns as a result of rising income levels and growing urbanisation.Much of this demand is expected to come from emerging markets like India where the demand for poultry alone is projected to increase 8
14、50 percent by 2040(from 1.05 to 9.92 million tonnes,annually),representing the steepest increase of any region in the world(FAO,Mapping of Supply and Demand for Animal-Source Foods,2011).Growing concern over the contribution of livestock to greenhouse gas emissions,natural resource degradation,and p
15、ublic health outbreaks including endemic and re-emerging infectious animal diseases,together with the overuse of antibiotics accelerating the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance has led to a growing discourse over the need for diversification of our existing protein supply chain.This
16、report presents an overview of one such alternative-cultivated meat,as part of the broader smart protein(also known globally as the alternative protein)industry which comprises plant-based,cultivated,and fermentation-derived protein and has the potential to supplement the livestock sector in meeting
17、 the increasing demand for protein in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.We intend to make the case that the cultivated meat industry does not pose a threat to the traditional livestock industry and that the two industries(can co-exist and thrive.The cultivated meat industry will offer consumer
18、s an addition to the menu-a supplementary source of meat,and importantly,can become a strong source of foreign exchange through the promotion of exports in the sector.Further,this paper can serve as an important reference tool for government and regulatory bodies to formulate regulations for cultiva
19、ted meat in the future.Through this report,we discuss global market trends and the future prospects of the cultivated meat industry in line with the growing global meat sector.We also highlight specific challenges and opportunities in the Indian market and effective interventions for this sunrise in
20、dustry to grow.India with its large pool of consumers,biotechnology talent,and bio-manufacturing capabilities could reap the benefits of the emerging cultivated meat industry,by paving the way ahead of other emerging economies.India has an opportunity to leverage the first mover advantage and positi
21、on the country as a leader and a prominent innovator,manufacturer,and exporter of cultivated meat.During the drafting of this report,a first-ever roundtable discussion was convened by Invest India and the Good Food Institute India.The roundtable included senior officials from the Department of Anima
22、l Husbandry and Dairying(DAHD),the Ministry of Food Processing Industries,the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority(APEDA),the Office of Principal Scientific Advisor(PSAs Office),a representative from the ICAR-National Research Centre on Meat working on cultivated mea
23、t research,and experts from the Good Food Institute India.The roundtable also witnessed participation by experts from startups like Myoworks Pvt.Ltd.,Laurus Bio Pvt.Ltd.,Ferm Box Pvt.Ltd.to provide an entrepreneurial perspective of establishing a cultivated meat organization in India and highlight a
24、ny challenges faced by them.The Association of Biotechnology-Led Enterprises(ABLE),the biotech industry association,emphasised the need for generating awareness to combat consumer stigma and the need to streamline incentives and grants across ministries to support the growth of the alternative prote
25、in sector.The roundtable saw positive encouragement from the government on the need to further develop and support the sector.A representative from the Office of the PSA affirmed that the“cultivated meat research and technology needs to be encouraged,as it is environment-friendly”.The roundtable und
26、erscored the fact that apart from regulatory support,the government can support through several other mechanisms to help this nascent sector grow to become globally competitive.98GROWING PROTEIN DEMANDCHAPTER 19Over the last two decades,global protein consumption has grown by around 45 percent,risin
27、g from 166 million tonnes in 2000 to around 242 million tonnes in 2019.Source:Euromonitor;OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2020-29,taken from McKinsey&Company Cultivated Meat:Out of the lab,into the frying pan 2017-19 average consumption,%2017-19 average consumption,millions of tonnes1110Global Meat Co
28、nsumption by RegionFive countries in Asia drove the majority of this growth,accounting for around 63 percent of the overall increase with China(26 percent)and India(14 percent)displaying the largest growth among individual countries.Africa(15 percent)is another key source of the global increase in p
29、rotein demand.As incomes continue to grow,we are likely to see a dietary transition towards higher consumption of meat,fruits,and vegetables relative to that of cereals(FAO 2011).By 2050,six of the seven largest economies in the world are projected to be emerging economies,with a majority of protein
30、 demand coming from these markets.Although per capita meat consumption in India is amongst the lowest in the world,the demand for protein is growing(OECD 2021),with poultry accounting for 66 percent of total meat consumption.India is also grappling with the issue of malnutrition,with 38 percent unde
31、rnutrition(46.6 million)in children under the age of five and 53 percent anaemia among adult women(National Family Health Survey 2015-16).For context,Indias protein consumption is much lower than the 48 gm/day that is recommended by the Indian Council of Medical Research(ICMR).The recommended dietar
32、y allowance of protein for an average Indian adult is 0.8 to 1 gm per kg body weight.However,the average intake is about 0.6 gm per kg body weight.With an expected doubling of the global demand for meat by 2050,there is an urgent need for the diversification of the protein supply chain.Feeding this
33、demand through the intensification of our current protein supply system poses significant threats.The most recent extensive study,published in the journal Science,demonstrates meat and dairy uses 83 percent of farmland and is responsible for 60 percent of agricultures greenhouse gas emissions-the la
34、test in a long line of work demonstrating these impacts.Of course,India can scarcely afford these impact.According to the Global Climate Risk Index 2021,India is poised to become one of the worlds worst-affected countries by rising global temperatures.Crop yields in the country can fall by as much a
35、s 30 percent by 2050,while almost 40 percent of Indians will be potentially living in water scarcity by the mid-21st century.Image by Ivy Farm1312INTRODUCTION TO SMART PROTEIN13Smart protein includes protein ingredients derived from plants,microorganisms,cell cultures that provide the same taste,tex
36、ture,and nutrition as conventional animal-based sources.Smart protein can be classified into three buckets from a technology and infrastructure perspective:plant-based,cultivated,and fermentation-derived proteins.Plant-based meat,dairy and eggs closely resemble an animal-based meat product in their
37、organoleptic properties,using one or a combination of plant or crop ingredients.Fermentation-derived protein entails the cultivation of any microbial species for either whole-cell biomass fermentation(to imitate conventional meat)or to produce valuable ingredients which could be transferable to the
38、convergence of plant-based and cultivated meat.Cultivated meat(also referred to as clean meat,cultured meat,or cell-based meat)is genuine animal meat derived through the cultivation and expansion of animal-derived muscle,fat and other supporting cells.The starting material for cultivated meat is a b
39、iopsy from an animal,from which a starter culture of muscle cells is created.These cells are then grown and multiplied over several cycles to produce cultivated meat.Cultivated meat tastes,smells,sizzles,and cooks exactly like conventional meat.CHAPTER 21514Cultivated MeatCultivated meat is identica
40、l to animal meat at the cellular level.It provides the same sensory and nutritional profile of conventionally produced meat because it comprises the same cell types and three-dimensional structure as meat from an animal.At scale,cultivated meat is produced in cultivators(or bioreactors)which are see
41、mingly similar to the existing fermentation bioreactors,but with advanced bioprocess design for the growth of animal cells.Fundamentally,the process of producing cultivated meat remains the same i.e.,taking a biopsy from an animal and generating cell lines of various lineages such as muscle and fat,
42、but there will be several variations for scaling this technology.For example,a company which produces structured meat will deploy edible scaffolds on which the muscle tissue will grow,giving the end meat product a whole-cut structure.But a company which produces ground meat products may simply deplo
43、y other technologies such as microcarriers for cells to adhere and multiply.The following table broadly highlights the steps involved in producing cultivated meat.Source:https:/gfi.org/resource/cultivated-meat-eggs-and-dairy-state-of-the-industry-report/Smart protein has the potential to offer signi
44、ficant environmental,social,and economic benefits and address 9 of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).These proteins require substantially less land and can positively impact climate change,in addition to posing nearly zero public health risks because they eliminate animal rea
45、ring and slaughter from the process.Specifically,cultivating meat directly from cells,for example,uses anywhere from 64 to 90 percent less land than conventional meat production.For the purpose of this report,we will focus on the opportunities presented by cultivated meat.1716Economically viable pro
46、duction systems which can scale are fundamental to the success of the cultivated meat industry.Decades of knowledge accumulation in cell culture,stem cell biology,meat science,tissue engineering,and chemical and bioprocess engineering underpins the technology of cultivated meat.The field has had rap
47、id cross-disciplinary innovations in the past decade,and future research will dissect the application of cell culture technology to egg and dairy proteins.A growing number of companies and academic laboratories globally are racing to translate knowledge from biology,chemistry,physics,material,and co
48、mputer sciences,to advance this sector to an industrial scale.Consortia,bringing together experts from several disciplines,to act as force multipliers for research at universities and in the industry for catalysing knowledge exchange,idea generation,and training will be essential.Additionally,the av
49、ailability of open access resources will determine the industrys success.For example,the Cultivated Meat Modeling Consortium is deploying various computational and data mining tools to simulate large-scale cultivation of meat.Collaborative research is critical to advance this sector.The Good Food In
50、stitute(GFI)has created a database of researchers who are open to collaboration on smart protein projects to solve white space bottlenecks,while also creating a crowdsourced directory of species-specific resources to help researchers find the right tools or service providers for cultivated meat rese
51、arch.Additionally,GFIs Curriculum Repository hosts course materials to lower barriers for instructors to educate and train students on the science of cellular agriculture.Technology ReadinessGiven the technical challenges,infrastructure construction needs,scale up and/or scale out considerations,and
52、 regulatory uncertainties,cultivated meat is estimated to be broadly available at upscale restaurants by the late 2020s and in mass market restaurants and grocery stores by the 2030s.Hybrid plant-based and cultivated products,which contain only a small constituent amount of cultivated meat,may be av
53、ailable in mass market restaurants by the mid-to-late 2020s.This graphic includes all publicly announced cultivated meat companies,but it may not include all cultivated meat companies founded to date as many companies begin in stealth mode.We expect more companies founded in 2022 to announce their w

55、reas within the cultivated meat production value chain.Startups and several research groups across the world are actively trying to establish a perpetual source of cells required to generate cultivated meat products.Several techniques are being deployed to create viable and commercially acceptable c
56、ell lines.Culture media provides the necessary microenvironment for cells to grow and is the biggest cost contributor in the cultivated meat value chain.Several companies are working on cost-effective serum-free media formulations to produce cultivated meat products by creating key protein mimics or
57、 replacements for key components such as albumin,transferrin,hormones,and growth factors.Scaffolding is deployed mainly for generating structured whole-cut meat products.Scaffolding gives the right skeletal framework and microenvironment for the growth of muscle,fat,and other support cells aiding th
58、e interspersal of a variety of cells that mimic whole-cut meat products.Significant progress has been made using various base materials such as bioengineered collagen,decellularized plants,alginate,chitin,and so on.The production process of cultivated meat needs to be cost-effective and move towards
59、 increasing price parity with conventional meat along with matching taste,mouthfeel,and nutritional quotients in order to be commercially successful.A financially viable and efficient bioprocess design underpins scale-up of this segment.Bioprocess engineers around the world are working on upstream a
60、nd downstream process innovations to design the most efficient and inexpensive bioprocessing solutions.Over the last decade,$14.2 billion has been invested into the global alternative protein category,with$2.8 billion invested in cultivated meat and investments on average tripling every year.During
61、this time the industry has expanded to include:156 cultivated meat ventures focused exclusively on developing cultivated meat inputs or end products.70 companies,largely in the life sciences,that have publicly announced business lines in cultivated meat.A global distribution of cultivated meat compa

82、25 billion global industry by 2030 presents opportunities within and beyond todays food industry.By 2030,cultivated meat could provide as much as a half of one percent billions of pounds of the worlds meat supply,with implications for multiple sectors.The future pace of adoption and market size will
83、 depend on the following factors:1.Transformative innovationA global life cycle assessment(LCA)and techno-economic analysis(TEA)of a hypothetical commercial scale cultivated meat production facility operating in the year 2030 has been conducted by the research firm CE Delft.This is a first-of-their-
84、kind analyses highlighting the critical technical bottlenecks.It identifies areas of focus for cultivated meat manufacturers to implement in their production processes to achieve desired economic and environmental impact outcomes and together serve as a foundation for refined future models.The studi
85、es highlight the need for further open access research on the species and cell types used in cultivated meat production,development of new or improved core technologies,and global shifts in the energy sector for cultivated meat technology to deliver on potential sustainability gains.The report incor
86、porates data from industrial partners including cultivated meat companies and bioprocess,media,and scaffold providers and concludes that meat directly cultivated from cells could cut emissions by 92 percent compared to conventional meat,when produced with renewable energy.Additionally,cultivated mea
87、t requires 64 to 90 percent less land and 66 percent less water compared to conventional meat and results in lower environmental impacts in a variety of categories such as air pollution,acidification of soils,and marine eutrophication compared to conventional meat.With this massive decrease in land
88、use,additional opportunities arise for carbon sequestration,renewable energy production,and biodiversity protection.FUTURE PROSPECTSCHAPTER 327262.Achieving price-parity with conventional meatIn less than a decade,companies have been able to reduce the production costs of cultivated meat by 99 perce
89、nt.If costs follow the same trajectory as that of human genome sequencing(for which costs,on average,dropped by 45 percent annually between 2001 and 2021),cultivated meat can potentially achieve cost parity with conventional meat by 2030.Based on a McKinsey analysis,about 75 percent of costs can be
90、eliminated through increased scale and best-in-class manufacturing processes,while roughly 25 percent of additional costs can be eliminated by fine-tuning R&D,bringing the total cost down 99.5 percent,from the low thousands of dollars to under USD 5 per pound.GFIs Techno-Economic Analysis modelled c
91、osts as low as USD 6.43 per kg.Cost of production is very difficult to predict because the production technique is not stabilised,startups private costs are largely hidden,and it is difficult to anticipate the effect of high scale production.The biggest challenge for startups is to lower significant
92、 costs stemming mainly from culture media.Cell culture media constitutes more than 90 percent of the overall product development costs in cultivated meat.Albumin(a transport protein)and proteins such as insulin and growth factors form the bulk of the cost of culture media.Scaleup facilities,efficien
93、t ingredient sourcing and finding ways to recycle or upcycle spent media(the most significant waste product in terms of volume)could reduce culture media prices.Manufacturers are also looking at using cultivated meat as an ingredient in plant-based or cultivated blends as a way to more thoroughly bi
94、omimic the conventional animal meat experience.Blended or hybrid products are anticipated to have reduced costs.Source:McKinsey&Company Cultivated Meat:Out of the lab,into the frying pan3.Industrial-scale manufacturingBy 2030,McKinsey estimates that cultivated meat could account for up to 2.1 millio
95、n metric tons(MMT)of volume;a USD 25 billion market.Reaching a USD 25 billion cultivated-meat market by 2030 will require the annual production of 1.5 million tonnes of cultivated meat.The existing infrastructure that is technologically suitable for cultivated meat production has been designed for b
96、iopharma,a price-insensitive application at a much smaller scale than what will be needed to produce millions of metric tons of meat.At current levels of cell-culture productivity,the industry would need anywhere from 220 million to 440 million litres of bioreactor capacity.Considering that the phar
97、ma industrys current cell-culture capacity is estimated to be between 10 million and 20 million litres,it will take a massive capital build-out just to reach 1 percent of the protein market.To meet just 0.3 percent of global meat production,100 similarly-sized facilities would need to be constructed
98、.Comparative Cost of Changing Technologies29284.Consumer acceptanceResearchers from the University of Bath,the Good Food Institute,and the Center for Long Term Priorities collaborated on the first quantitative comparison of consumer attitudes towards plant-based and cultivated meat across China,Indi
99、a,and the U.S.3,000 participants were surveyed,as an exploration into the market demand across key markets(Bryant et al,Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems,2019).About 30 percent of US consumers,59 percent of Chinese consumers,and 56 percent of Indian consumers were“very or extremely likely to pur
100、chase cultivated meat regularly,”with interest in cultivated meat expected to grow once there is a 5.Food safety and regulation for cultivated meat productsPrior to wide-scale commercialisation of cultivated meat,food produced through cellular agriculture will require regulatory authorization before
101、 entering the Indian market.Given the pace of technological development in the field to prepare for for market entry of these products,it will be imperative for India to have the necessary regulatory frameworks,bodies and infrastructure in place for assessing the safety of cultivated food products a
102、nd production processes,as well as legislation developed for accepted terminologies and labelling requirements for marketing these products.In later sections of the report,we detail out key regulatory recommendations for India.This underscores the need for a lot of new infrastructure(including an as
103、sessment for refurbishing potential)and mechanisms for financing those projects.A number of startups in the sector will be looking to partner with key research,production,and distribution partners as an essential step toward scaling cultivated meat production.Companies active in the life sciences in

105、 about plant-based and cultivated meat will likely lead to greater acceptance over time.Image by Bluu Seafood3130If the government funds open access research,it provides a foundation for the industry to build upon,thereby facilitating innovation.Further support through assembling consortia and fundi
106、ng of R&D infrastructure will help in accelerating the growth of the sector.The Japan Association for Cellular Agriculture(JACA)is a collaboration between industry,government,and academia to create rules for cultivated meat,egg,and dairy products in order to contribute to their commercialisation in
107、Japan.JACA is led by the Center for Rulemaking Strategy(CRS)at Tama University,a Japanese think tank,and comprises 30 companies,including some of the major food companies in Japan.CRS focus is to design rules(law,industrial standards,self-regulation guidelines,and more)for emerging technologies and
108、important concepts to be implemented into Japanese society.The Food Tech Research Group,which includes over 100 companies,was launched by the Ministry of Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries(MAFF)in April 2020.6 It aims to foster the food industry and strengthen Japans food security through utilising

146、rum-free formulation.Singapore“The Requirements for Safety Assessment of Novel Foods”20 is the current regulatory framework in Singapore that would cover the scope of the manufacture and sale of cultivated meat products.This regulation is expected to be revised and updated periodically as the indust
147、ry develops(the SFA has refined/reviewed the regulatory framework four times currently based on industry and expert feedback).Food business operators that intend to manufacture,import or sell“novel foods”are required to conduct and submit the safety assessment of the products to the Singapore Food A
148、gency(SFA)for review and approval.The regulatory framework defines cultivated meat as“meat developed from animal cell culture.The process to produce cultured meat involves growing the selected cell lines(or stem cells)in a bioreactor.The cells are grown in a suitable growth media,and subsequently on
149、to a scaffold to produce products resembling meat muscle.”SFA focuses on regulating the product,more than the process,but still recognises its significance in establishing overall product safety.In November 2020,Singapore became the first nation to green-light the sale of a cultivated meat product.2

153、of food production,enhance food security and bring benefits to consumers as long as the high level of consumer protection is ensured.”18 Cultivated meat in the EU will be categorised under the Regulation(EU)2015/228319 on novel foods regulations that explicitly refers to food produced from“cell cult
154、ure or tissue culture derived from animals”.If the product is deemed safe after a scientific assessment by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA),the Commission approves the pre-market authorisation.Pre-market authorisation is handled centrally,meaning that once the European Commission and represe
155、ntatives from the EU member states approve a product,the approval applies across all 27 member states.In Canada,cultivated meat and seafood are characterised as“novel foods”and require the submission of detailed information in an application for pre-market approval.A three-part approval is required:

157、val on a case-by-case basis.Israel22F.No.12/PA Regulation/Dir(PA)/FSSAI-2016 available here23Under the Draft Notification of Food Safety and Standards(Approval for Non-Specified Food and Food Ingredients)Amendment Regulation 2021#,novel food is defined as“food that may not have a history of human co
158、nsumption;or may have any ingredient used in it which or the source from which it is derived,may not have a history of human consumption;or a food or ingredient obtained by new technology with innovative engineering process,where the process may give rise to significant change in the composition or
159、structure or size of the food or food ingredients which may alter the nutritional value,metabolism or level of undesirable substances.”herefor human food use through the novel food assessment process,(ii)a pre-market assessment for new animal feed(due to the possibility of supply chain crossover and
160、 regardless of whether the product is intended for use as animal feed),and(iii)an environmental assessment under the New Substances Notification Regulations.Companies may not market their products in Canada until they have all three approvals.Currently,the regulatory framework for novel and non-spec
161、ified foods in India,namely the Food Safety and Standards(Approval of Non-specified Foods and Food Ingredients)Regulation 2017,regulated by the Food Safety and Standards IndiaAuthority of India(the FSSAI),lays down the pre-market authorisation for novel food products/ingredients;food or food ingredi
162、ents processed with the use of novel technology;any new additives or new processing aids including enzymes not previously laid down in other standards or regulations;food and food ingredients consisting of or isolated from microorganisms,bacteria,yeast,fungi or algae;and any other non-specified food
163、 which is not covered elsewhere.Although the definition does not make references to foods derived from animal-cell culture like in Singapores or EUs regulatory framework,there is a section of the Indian framework that requires information around whether the food product is from an animal source and
164、asks that“the genus and specifies of the organisms must be mentioned”,which could cover the scope of cultivated meat products.It may be useful for the FSSAI to confirm if cultivated meat falls under the novel food category under the regulation.It is suggested that the definition of Novel Food under
165、the current regulatory framework should include“food from cell culture or tissue culture derived from animals”,in addition to categories of foods derived from microorganisms,fungi,algae,and bacteria.This specificity will be helpful for entrepreneurs and signal receptiveness towards regulating emergi
166、ng categories.Indian regulators may refer to regulatory frameworks on definitions,nomenclature,and regulatory processes laid down by the regulators in Singapore,the US,Australia&New Zealand,Canada,and Israel.Cultivated meat is likely to require pre-market approval as a novel food.Additional pre-mark

169、 various relevant ministries which actively collaborates to move these areas forward is essential to establishing the industry.Below are essential recommendations that would help build domestic strength for the development and growth of the cultivated meat industry in India.India:Key Policy Recommen
170、dations1.Investments and government support to encourage smart protein talent development for a future-ready ecosystem:Like any other emerging sector,it is essential to have support from the government of India with clear funding programs for R&D,hands-on training modules and curriculum development
171、in research institutions.Government intervention in promoting academia-industry collaboration through technology transfer schemes will also turbo-drive this sector.Relevant agencies such as The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research(CSIR),Department of Biotechnology(DBT),Department of Science
172、 and Technology(DST),Indian Council for Agricultural Research(ICAR),should come up with smart protein funding calls to advance this sector in India.I.Advancing research funding for emerging technologies such as cultivated proteins,research and technology advancement through open access and licensabl
173、e R&D can unlock many opportunities and lead to entrepreneurial stimulation.Supporting this R&D through specialised grants will help advance the industry on critical dimensions and make India globally competitive.Examples include the DBT-funded cultivated meat mutton project in collaboration with AI
174、C-CCMB and the National Research Centre on Meat(NRCMeat),Hyderabad on a proposal on cultivated mutton meat.Dr.Mukunda Goswami,CIFE,and Shubhankar Takle,Myoworks,have received funding support from GFIs Competitive Research Grant Programs in the past two years.II.Additionally,investments in research a
175、dvancement and technology development in areas of food technology and manufacturing,4544bioreactor design,scaffold development,bioprocessing and scale-up units,etc.,will support in scaling these technologies and infrastructure and can provide workable solutions to broader issues such as food securit
176、y in India.III.Global research and development partnerships:Creating talent development programs such as training fellowships and promoting education and translational research by launching specialized curricula and coursework in premier institutes in collaboration with international universities wi
177、ll help build a talent pool to support the industry in India.2.Building R&D and manufacturing capacity in India through Central and State level interventions (relevant agencies:Ministry of Food Processing Industries,Ministry of Fisheries,Ministry of Animal Husbandry and Dairying(and their individual
178、 departments),Department of Biotechnology,Department of Science and Technology,CSIR,Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor,BIRAC,NITI Aayog-Atal Innovation Mission):The Central and State government can support startups and companies working in cultivated meat R&D with policy support such as prov
179、iding infrastructural support for setting up pilot,lab and industrial scale facilities based on industry requirements,providing financial support for procuring equipment.Incentivising the production of cultivated meat machinery and equipment similar to government support provided for equipment that
180、is produced for biotech and pharma industries can help Indian companies drive down production costs and can attract global investors.I.Open access cell line repository and research:One of the biggest bottlenecks is an open-access repository of cell lines with the potential to establish their entire
181、genetic lineage toward creating non-GM cell lines.Several attempts have been made to generate such cell lines,but the bottleneck has been the source and the protocol deployed toward creating these immortalised or viable cell lines.The Good Food Institute has developed a repository of existing cell l
182、ines containing those that are established,planned,or in progress.Cell-line repository for seafood species is also a big bottleneck.Additionally,central cell-line repositories such as the National Repository for Fish Cell Lines(NRFC),which has 50 cell lines from fish species currently available to r
183、esearchers for their programs,could be made accessible to the wider smart protein ecosystem players to accelerate product development and commercialisation.The government can support critical research in this area and ensure that the results of such studies are open-access for companies innovating i
184、n this area(including chicken cells,mutton cells,and seafood species,etc.)II.Capacity building for Smart Protein:Building infrastructure through dedicated Smart Protein Innovation Hubs at existing bio-incubators and Atal incubation centres with access to lab,pilot,and manufacturing-scale infrastruct
185、ure will support research and entrepreneurship in these areas.Key institutions such as the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council(BIRAC),Department of Science and Technology(DST),and Council of Scientific&Industrial Research(CSIR)have shown interest in advancing grant opportunities and b
186、uilding capacity in the R&D ecosystem.Several of the 9 DBT-supported biotech parks and 60 BIRAC-supported bio incubators,41 CSIR-supported institutions,and 17 DST-supported institutions in India have the necessary talent and infrastructure to support and encourage cultivated meat R&D and translate i
187、t into commercial products.III.Inclusion of CM within existing Central and State level policies:Relevant Ministries like the Ministry of Fisheries,Animal Husbandry and Dairying(MFAHD),the Ministry of Commerce,the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Food Processing(MoFPI)can consid
188、er creating incentives in cultivated meat R&D and production.Schemes like the Production Linked Incentive Scheme by MoFPI,Mega Food Park Scheme,and the Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund(AHIDF)by MFAHD can be extended to cultivated meat.i.Central level policies:Apart from forming regul
189、atory frameworks and achieving procedural clarity,government support plays a key role in advancing the sector through supportive policies.Recognition of alternative proteins like cultivated meat in national policy plans similar to Israel or China would encourage further innovation and stimulate rese
190、arch and development in these categories.Additionally,government support through public funding would be critical to advance the growth in science and technology and bring these products towards price parity.4746a.Incentivising the production of cultivated meat by providing access to machinery and e
191、quipment could be a welcome push for the Indian ecosystem.b.Inclusion of Cultivated Meat under AHIDF:The Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development(AHIDF)has been approved with an outlay of INR 15000 crores(approximately USD 2 billion)for incentivising investments by individual entrepreneurs,privat
192、e companies,MSMEs,Farmers Producers Organisations(FPOs)and Section 8 companies to establish(i)the dairy processing and value addition infrastructure,(ii)meat processing and value addition infrastructure and(iii)animal feed plant.Once the country comes up with well-defined regulations on cultivated m
193、eat,then schemes like AHDF should cover cultivated meat as well.ii.State-specific policies:The Ministry of Animal Husbandry and Dairying and other relevant Ministries can support state level Ministries and departments to develop state-specific policies to promote infrastructure capabilities,cluster
194、production centres,generate employment,build attractive regional hotspots for FDI,manufacturing,and so on.Adding the scope of cultivated meat production within state-level policies,such as the following examples:a.Andhra Pradesh Biotechnology Policy 2015-2020:Development of several infrastructure pr
195、ojects and industrial parks b.Karnataka Biotechnology Policy 20172022:Strengthening the ecosystem required for boosting start-ups,accessing funds for R&D and product development,developing attractive incentives for investors and providing mentorship for growth c.Telangana Life Sciences Policy 2015-2

200、er adding cultivated meat research within the core areas under the Mission 3.Building partnerships for knowledge and tech transfer(relevant agencies:Ministry of Foreign Affairs,Department of Biotechnology,Department of Science&Technology,Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor,Invest India)I.Indu
201、stry-academia partnerships for research translation:In April 2021,Singapore announced that it would set up the Future Ready Food Safety Hub(FRESH),a joint initiative by Nanyang Technological University(NTU),SFA,and A*STAR,to create a pro-business food regulatory ecosystem that supports innovation an
202、d allows the launch of safe novel foods.The key objectives of FRESH are threefold:i)to close the gap between older regulatory frameworks and novel food production methods(such as cell cultivation and microbial fermentation),ii)to strengthen food safety in Singapore by increasing collaboration betwee
203、n regulators and industry,iii)and to“enable regulatory responsiveness”by exposing regulators to novel food production methods.4948i.Consortia building:Collaborative research centres could incentivise and facilitate consortia building between academia and the industry for joint research proposals tha
204、t allow benefit-sharing among its participants.Israel,for example,has established a consortium which will focus on integrating artificial intelligence and genome editing,which will enable the industry to be at the forefront of such technology internationally.For example the USD 3.5 million grant fro
205、m the US National Science Foundation to the university UC Davis for research and commercialisation of cultivated meat(produced directly from cells rather than by raising and slaughtering animals),which has demonstrated the efficacy of such coalitions and has resulted in the development of promising
206、technologies and value creation for its members.II.Cross-country collaboration:Food technology could benefit from information sharing partnerships with global partners,policy frameworks to support emerging technologies and infrastructural incentives,and regional cooperation through common frameworks
207、 which can help promote regional development to reach sustainable development goals(SDGs).Support towards smart protein would positively impact action towards attaining sustainable development goals that are top priority areas for India,such as food security,climate resilience,and nutrition,and can
208、increase Indias economic development by improving domestic production facilities and infrastructure that will reduce reliance on imports,and further expand export capabilities.III.Protection of intellectual property rights of the innovators(researchers and companies)i.The government may need to bala
209、nce the promotion of innovation in the industry while also protecting the intellectual property rights of entrepreneurs,especially the ones that claim the first-mover advantage in a nascent industry,similar to the Singapore food regulators(SFA)efforts towards protection of trade secrets.To promote i
210、nnovation,the government can also incentivise and motivate researchers and companies alike to deposit cell lines in public repositories to lower the burden of entry throughout the industry.a.Production of cultivated meat requires the development and use of innovative technology such as the cell line
211、s which ultimately determine many of the downstream variables to consider.Companies in the United States usually obtain patents for the cell lines developed by them.As a result,currently,there exist few publicly available cell lines for cell-based meat production.This results in slowing the innovati
212、on and ultimately the speed at which these products reach the market.To promote the growth of cultivated meat research and development as well as to protect and safeguard the intellectual property of the companies and researchers developing novel technology for cultivated meat,it will be crucial to
213、find a balance between innovation and the protection of intellectual property rights.Patents usually take time to be granted and are jurisdictional in nature(geographically confined),which makes innovators susceptible to IP violations in their absence.To prevent this,the government can have a policy
214、 in place to protect innovations such as cell lines,etc.made for cultivated meat as a trade secret.4.Building regulatory clarity and regulatory preparedness (relevant agencies:Food Safety and Standards Authority of India)To lay the groundwork for ushering in large scale investments in cultivated mea
215、t within the country-the relevant ministries and regulatory bodies like the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India(FSSAI)can establish regulatory clarity within existing regulation or notify a new regulation for cultivated meat regulatory approval.24FAO&WHO.2023.Food safety aspects of cell-bas
216、ed food.Rome.https:/doi.org/10.4060/cc4855en5150I.Enabling regulatory data sharing:Governments,regulatory authorities,and cultivated meat manufacturers should openly release any comprehensive regulatory frameworks,requirements,or datasets(when applicable)they have established or generated,e.g.,data
217、on risk and food safety assessment could be shared amongst the regulatory bodies and relied upon to reduce the duration of scrutiny of applications for market approvals.II.Establishing a framework for regulatory communication between the regulator and industry:Governments could engage food businesse
218、s early in the application process to discuss requirements and gaps in their application to provide timely feedback that could potentially reduce approval timelines and provide more transparency on the development process to the regulator.Regulatory bodies such as Singapore Food Agency and Food Stan
219、dards Australia New Zealand(FSANZ)have implemented this.III.Building a globally harmonised regulatory ecosystem:Clear guidance and regulatory framework detailing how smart proteins are made,approved for marketing,and labelled-is essential in ensuring they have a fair path to market.At present,while
220、the global regulatory environment is still vague and fragmented,it is developing rapidly.As this industry is currently driven by small-scale entrepreneurs,it would help the industry players to have regulatory support from the government through enabling regulations and a supportive policy ecosystem
221、to guide the development of the industry across the value chain.Furthermore,as the production of cultivated meat might involve the usage of recombinant proteins in culture media in which the cells grow,a clear roadmap to regulate the end product will be needed to assess the safety and nutritional pr
222、ofile of cultivated meat products.Visionary steps by the FSSAI to ensure that the new industry has several safety and regulatory checks in place with components of consumer awareness building can go a long way in advancing the category.Regulators of governments like Singapore,the USA,Japan,and Israe
223、l are moving ahead in this area and also building ecosystem capacity to support their efforts with academic,nonprofit,and industry inputs.IV.Building consumer awareness:If smart proteins such as cultivated meat are to reach their full potential,consumers must trust them,knowing that these foods are
224、safe to eat and that their ingredients are clearly and accurately labelled.The FSSAIs role towards consumer education will go a long way in establishing category awareness and greater transparency about its safety and production process.Through its Social and Behavioural Change department,materials
225、educating consumers about this category can be Leveraging global best practices and harmonising regulatory requirementsStrengthening regulatory communication with the industryBuilding transparency and familiarity with the consumersInteragency coordination for ecosystem building for increased R&D in
226、food innovationThe FSSAI can refer to reports such as the UN FAO report titled“Food Safety Aspects of Cell-Based Foods”24 which brought expertise from 15 countries on regulating cultivated protein.1Food safety aspects of cell-based foodFOOD SAFETY ASPECTS OFCELL-BASED FOOD5352disseminated to create
227、familiarity with the technology and address concerns.V.Increasing the overall ease of doing business in India to increase domestic production capacity and help India become an export hub(relevant agencies:Invest India,Directorate General of Foreign Trade,Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying,M
228、inistry of Food Processing Industries,Agricultural and Processed Foods Export Development Authority and the Marine Products Export Development Authority)i.Ease of Doing Business:To allow for multilateral partnerships such as Aleph Farm and BRF in Brazil and Aleph Farm and Mitsubishi in Japan,the gov
229、ernment can play an important role to ensure the ease of doing business by defining the available subsidies than can be extended to cultivated meat,in addition to regulatory clarity and easing the trade processes and foreign investments.ii.Domestic manufacturing promotion:As part of the larger bioec
230、onomy,smart protein can be a major win for Atmanirbhar Bharat and export ambitions.Easing access to capital through tax incentives for investors and for research-led innovation,and manufacturing infrastructure development are crucial areas for the development of a manufacturing industry.iii.Infrastr
231、ucture capacity building:Building domestic manufacturing capabilities and capacity for cultivated meat production through policy support and incentives through GOI policies such as the Production Linked Incentive Scheme(PLI)under MoFPI.Adding language such as“food products created through emerging t
232、echnologies”in addition to RTE/RTC,poultry,and marine segments that can avail benefits.a.India allows 100 percent FDI under the automatic route(a non-resident or Indian company will not require any approval from the government)for greenfield pharmaceuticals and manufacturing medical devices-it is re
233、commended to provide a similar extension to industries manufacturing raw inputs and ingredients for cultivated meat.b.While 74 percent FDI is permitted under the automatic route for brownfield projects,100 percent under the government route is permitted for brownfield investments for cultivated meat
234、 as well.c.Obtaining access and recognition within the Ministry of Food Processing Industries Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana to avail the benefits of sub-schemes such as the Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure,Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure and more.iv.Trad
235、e and export promotion:Via Make in India,Make for the World,a.Additional incentives for private R&D including tax incentives from bench-scale to market journey are also needed.b.Cultivated protein technology can be entwined with the Make In India story.This will go a long way towards positioning Ind
236、ia as a leader in cultivated protein technology and generating interest amongst everyday consumers.c.Biomanufacturing facilities for cultivated meat may be located within Special Economic Zones including SEZ tax holiday benefits and priority sector lending,to aid in exports of value-added raw materi
237、als and end-product.5455The cultivated meat industry has witnessed significant developments over the past three years globally,with key milestones such as regulatory approvals,commercial restaurant launches,increased public and private investments,tasting events,and advanced product developments fro
238、m several entrepreneurs.Cellular agriculture technology has the potential to enable the production of high-quality cultivated meat and seafood but requires extensive government support through public funding,consortia building,regulatory frameworks,regulatory approvals,and consumer awareness.In Indi
239、a,cultivated meat presents unique opportunities to utilise its vast resources and manufacturing capabilities to employ strategically towards this emerging category and become a production powerhouse.As highlighted in the report,several nations now recognise alternative proteins,including cultivated
240、meat,as one of the key elements required for achieving national food security and climate goals.Additionally,recent resources such as the UN FAOs report on Food Safety Aspects of Cell-Based Foods,emphasises the need for an evidence-based approach to determining the safety of cultivated protein produ
241、cts through regulations.Resources like these can help bodies such as the FSSAI to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework that covers food safety,hazard analysis,regulation and terminology of cultivated meat.There is no better time for India to showcase its technology and manufacturing capabili
242、ties and commitment towards climate-friendly innovation.CONCLUSIONCHAPTER 55657Cultivating cells is now a known art,the global cultivated meat industry players are now fixated on achieving price parity.Over the next few years,we will see unprecedented progress in the areas of media ingredients,biore
