    Uhh. That’s meaningless? What’s the energy/resource usage comparison.

      I’d try to use money to calculate that. For farming, there’s probably tons of data. But for growing meat, there won’t be as good a model of what this thing’s inputs are. Like say it takes a dropperful of iodine at one point in the process. What’s the energy content of that iodine?

      Money would be a good approximation of this: what’s the cost of producing that pork versus rearing a pig?

        For us, it’s essential that our meat is available to and affordable for everyone. So it will, at the very least, be the same price range as traditional meat.

        That’s the claim

      Eh it’s not great but if they can create true pork competitive product quickly, that can be profitable in a chaotic market, allowing them to scale production to meet more unforseen/fast moving demand.
