Cellular Agriculture Society

His ambition to accelerate cellular agriculture then brought him to Harvard where he became the first cellular agriculture researcher and scholar at the University and the Ivy League. In August 2017, Kristopher published the first entry of the Neomnivore Trilogy: Nature & the Neomnivore. This literature, which served as the first comprehensive environmental report on cellular agriculture, ranked as a top trending work at Harvard among all publications at the university and placed cellular agriculture into the international spotlight. In 2016, he began the initial framework of CAS, leading to a two year journey developing the programming at CAS, along with a website which would provide the platform to build an international movement.

Kristopher Gasteratos is the founder and president of CAS, the Cellular Agriculture Society, an international 501c3 nonprofit based in the US and a former VIP Venture of the Harvard Innovation Lab. He is a former student, scholar, and researcher of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences at Harvard University.

Kristopher started his career in cellular agriculture in 2015 after his research in a tissue engineering lab. This inspired him to to conduct the first and largest market research on cellular agriculture spanning 3 years and multiple continents, which led to results that escalated investor and public interest in cell-based meat and cellular agriculture globally.

Overall, his dynamic insight on cellular agriculture has contributed to his authoring excerpts in cellular agriculture books/articles around the world like “Clean Meat” and interviews for media outlets like ABC, the San Francisco Chronicle, and cellular agriculture documentaries like Bite to the Future and Horn Maker. As a world renown expert on cellular agriculture, Kristopher’s speaking engagements in the past range from leading international discussions giving guest lectures at Harvard and Stanford, to talks on cell-based meat and cellular agriculture at conferences on effective altruism and food technology.

The Cellular Agriculture Society (CAS) is an international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization seeking to support the development and commercialization of cellular agricultural products and technologies. CAS was founded by Kristopher Gaseratos in March, 2017.

CAS was founded by Kristopher Gasteratos in March, 2018 based on the philosophy that animal products ought to be sourced from cells rather than farmed animals. The trademarked slogan for CAS is, "For the people, for then animals, for the world.

The programs at CAS are aimed at promoting public involvement in cellular agriculture. The programs are split into three categories: Initiatives are programs on narrow topics, Divisions are programs on broad topics led by Directors on the Executive Board, and Series are recurring application based programs.

CAS has partnered up with cellular agriculture companies offering them their own CAS accreditation. The CAS accreditation is offered to companies as a pre-certification until they have successfully commercialized a product, after which, a full CAS certification is granted. The CAS certification is for cellular agricultural companies that are poised to benefit people, animals, and the world at large.

CAS partners with cellular agriculture companies along with international institutions and universities.
