Organisation Summary

Cellular Agriculture Australia (CAA) is a registered not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing the development of cellular agriculture in Australia.

Cellular agriculture uses cells and biotechnology to create new food, ingredients, and agricultural products. With global food demand projected to rise by up to 50% by 2050, current production methods alone won’t meet this need sustainably or ethically. We believe cellular agriculture can play a critical role in diversifying food production, enhancing food security, and meeting global protein demand in a sustainable way.

CAA works across the entire Australian cellular agriculture sector, identifying shared, non-competitive priorities and driving collective progress. Our approach is inclusive, participatory, and rooted in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders.

Our Focus Areas:
– Unlocking government support for essential research, infrastructure, and industry growth
– Advocating for fit-for-purpose regulation of emerging food technologies and products
– Building public understanding and trust in cellular agriculture
– Supporting effective impact measurement and communication across the sector

Our unique value:
– We are the only NFP with a specialised focus on cellular agriculture as a key future food solution and represent an independent, neutral voice of the sector.
– We carry deep capability, technical expertise and networks across the sector; including a formal partnership with the leading global think tank, The Good Food Institute APAC.
