TissenBioFarm creates cultivated and plant-based meat products with edible bio-ink materials. The company currently has three edible bio-inks, each of which are both edible and scalable. TissenBioFarm uses a proprietary method of cell cultivation to create alternative meat products that have a realistic texture and realistic marbling. TissenBioFarm has raised $400,000 USD to develop a [large-scale manufacturing platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosa-meat-crowdfunding). The company has stated that both its bio-inks and its methodologies are suitable for market-level production. On top of this, TIssenBioFarm's cultivated meat boasts a significantly quicker lead time than existing competitors, meaning it can adequately meet demand.
