Promote Ethical Meat By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-06-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opensource-recipe References: [livekindly.co](https://www.livekindly.co/lab-meat-open-source-recipe-catalogue/) & [markets.businessinsider](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/kerafast-partners-with-the-good-food-institute-to-facilitate-access-to-cell-lines-for-developing-sustainable-meat-and-seafood-1028880593) In a bid to speed up and promote further research into the field of "sustainable, lab-grown, and cultivated meat," plant-based nonprofit Good Food Institute and digital company Kerafast Inc. partner to launch an open-source recipe catalog. The online platform is created by Kerafast Inc. and it features a list of terrestrial meat and aquatic cell lines. The open-source recipe catalog "facilitates access to unique, lab-made bioresearch materials," ultimately increasing visibility of advancements within the development of lab-grown meat products. The movement toward cultivated meat is catalyzed by the need for sustainability and although it's produced through the use of animal cells—the process guarantees a "low-impact, clean alternative to traditional animal products." Kerafast Inc. has partnered with more than 190 global research institutions which will take advantage of the open-source recipe catalog.
