Cultivated meat company Meatable has announced new global partnerships this Earth Day, joining forces with leading changemakers to accelerate the shift toward a sustainable, fairer food future.

In a bid to combat climate change and global hunger, Meatable is backing three mission-driven organisations: Food Tank, The United Nations Global Compact, and The Hunger Project. The move aligns with the company’s commitment to reshape how food is produced and consumed, especially as the global population is expected to exceed 10 billion by 2050.

Meatable CEO Jeff Tripician said:

As a company dedicated to transforming the global food system, we recognise that real progress requires collaboration, not competition. By supporting these respected organisations, we’re not only showing our commitment to impact — we’re investing in a shared vision of a food system that feeds everyone, fairly and sustainably.”

The urgency is clear: conventional livestock farming contributes heavily to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and water scarcity. Cultivated meat, made without slaughter and with dramatically less environmental impact, is being hailed as a promising solution.

New partnerships

Food Tank, one of Meatable’s new partners, works to bridge the gap between global and local food issues, spotlighting practical solutions that already exist but need more funding and attention.

Speaking at a Meatable-hosted event, Food Tank co-founder Danielle Nierenberg said:

In my world, for so long when you looked at the sustainable agriculture movement, technology was a bad word, and I think that’s really changing. We’re seeing this thread that innovation and technology can be a big part of the solution, not the only solution. We don’t want tech to solve everything because it can’t, but it can certainly be an ingredient in creating a more sustainable, equitable, just and fair food system.” 

Meatable also joins the United Nations Global Compact, aligning its practices with ten universal principles on the environment, labour and human rights, while contributing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

On the ground, Meatable is supporting The Hunger Project, a grassroots non-profit that works with local communities, particularly women, to build self-reliance and long-term food security.

Meatable’s Earth Day pledge reflects its belief that global food transformation is only possible through collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility.
