Vancouver, British Columbia, February 10, 2022 - CULT Food Science Corp. (“CULT” or the “Company”) (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN0), an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on clean, lab-grown food that is advancing the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental and ethical solution to the global factory farming and aquaculture crises, is pleased to announce a recent donation to New Harvest Corp. (New Harvest”). Active since 2004, New Harvest is a non-profit organization dedicated to the evolution of the global food system through cellular agriculture. This donation will support New Harvest in continuation with its vital scientific research in cellular agriculture.
CULT is a pioneer in identifying promising cell-based food production opportunities and has become a bridge for investors and cultivators to promote cellular agriculture. The Company strongly believes that cell-based food is the future. As highlighted in Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, “Globally, the demand for meat and other animal-based products is expected to increase dramatically as the world's population grows… By 2050, the human population is expected to swell to 9.5 billion, and the increase in demand for animal-based protein is projected to double.”1 This belief aligns with New Harvest and its research on the development of cellular agriculture products through multiple projects, publications and other ongoing initiatives.

“By supporting New Harvest and its research endeavours related to cellular agriculture, we are allocating resources to help alleviate current and future constraints on the global food supply chain, for the benefit of future consumers. We believe in New Harvest and its initiatives to take cellular food production to the next level and, ultimately, provide the world with more sufficient and safer food solutions in the future,” said Lejjy Gafour, President of CULT.
