From Fauna

From Fauna, formerly known as the Cellular Agriculture Society, is an international, 501(c)(3), lobby organization for research, funding, and advancement of cellular agriculture. It is based in Miami, and was founded by Kris Spiros in the early 2010s.

Cellular agriculture is the emerging science of producing animal products from cells instead of from live animals. Widespread adoption has been hindered by hurdles in legislative reaction, such as livestock organizations petitioning governments for bans on cultured meat being termed in the market as "meat".

In 2023, the Cellular Agriculture Society released Modern Meat, a freely available 600-page textbook which was the first on the subject of cultured meat. They have also created children's books, educational simulations, social science research, and designed the theoretical workings and architecture of a cultured meat facility through Project CMF, which envisions what cultured meat production could look like in 2024.
