University of California, Berkeley — Alternative Meats Lab (2024)

[Alternatives to Animal Products] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $800,000 over two years to UC Berkeley to support the Alternative Meats Lab (Alt:Meat Lab), housed at The Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology. This funding will support Alt:Meat Lab's research on challenges to manufacturing plant-based meat, as well as enable the university to offer more classes about meat alternatives. This follows our October 2021 support and falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare, specifically within our interest in alternatives to animal products.
