Niya

is bringing cell-based meat to the mainstream.

About Fork & Goode

Fork & Good is on the cutting edge of a revolution in meat production. The company has developed a true lab-grown, cell-based ground meat that has less than 6 ingredients and tastes just like pork, using patented scientific advances to reduce the cost and change the unit economics of cell-based meat.

Why Now

Lab grown meat holds the promise of addressing climate issues while feeding a growing global population that will reach 9.8B by 2050. Compared to conventional beef, cell-based beef is estimated to reduce land use by more than 95%, climate change emissions by 74% to 87%, and nutrient pollution by 94%. And since cell-based meat is grown in a clean facility, it also reduces the risk of contamination by harmful pathogens and eliminates the need for antibiotics, thereby reducing the serious public health threats posed by food borne illness and antibiotic resistance.
