New Harvest 2022 is a live, in-person event about the emerging field of cellular agriculture—the growing of animal products like meat, milk, and eggs from cells instead of animals.
For two days, researchers, companies, students, policymakers, investors, artists, activists, journalists, skeptics, early adopters, and more will convene in Brooklyn, New York to discuss the future of cultured meat and other cell-cultured foods.
We will explore the latest scientific breakthroughs and commercial developments, and think critically about the multiple futures of food made possible by cell ag.
For a sense of what to expect, check out our past conferences from 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. You can watch recordings from past events here.
THEME
This year’s theme, elephant in the room, is a playful way of teasing out important but neglected conversations about cellular agriculture, cultured meat, and the future of food.
Elephant in the room was originally slated to be the theme for our 2020 event, which was ultimately canceled due to Covid-19. To inform our programming, New Harvest invited community members to submit “elephants” via an online form. Two years later, we’re interested in hearing what’s changed…and what hasn’t.
Who is being sidelined? What is being ignored? What are people not talking about (or not talking about enough)?
What is the elephant in the room?
