Imagine a world where real meat is produced sustainably without the need to breed, raise and slaughter animals. This is no longer science fiction, it’s now within reach.
At the forefront of this urgent frontier is Mayo Clinic trained cardiologist Dr. Uma Valeti, the co-founder and CEO of Upside Foods (previously Memphis Meats), the leading start-up of the “cultivated” meat revolution. From the world’s first meatball which cost $18,000 per pound to the first chicken fillet and duck a l'orange for half the cost, the film follows Valeti and his team over five years as the cost of production plummets, and consumers eye the imminent birth of this timely industry.
Narrated by Jane Goodall and featuring music by Moby, Meat the Future explores a game-changing solution to a global, unsustainable hunger for meat and its impact on climate, animal welfare and public health.

"A must-see movie for anyone interested in how science and technology is being used to transform the modern food system to make it more sustainable, healthy, and ethical. It gives fascinating insights into the people behind this movement: their passion, curiosity, drive, and ambition to create a better world through the use of (some very cool) science. I highly recommend Meat the Future to anyone who is interested in addressing some of the big challenges facing the modern world, such as global warming, pollution, biodiversity loss, animal welfare, and zoonotic diseases."
—David Julian McClements, Professor of Food Science, University of Massachusetts, Author, Future Foods: How Modern Science Is Transforming the Way We Eat
“An inspirational documentary following the people behind one of the most exciting innovations of the 21st century. Meat the Future brilliantly captures the tenacity behind the protagonists of the cultivated meat adventure, and the vast significance of disrupting modern meat production.”
—Christopher Bryant, social scientist, Bryant Research Ltd, Research Associate of Psychology, University of Bath
