Industrial food systems are driving fossil fuel use – and vice versa.
@foodtank.bsky.social covers our #FuelToFork report, unpacking how food's fossil fuel addiction drives risks for climate, ecology, health, and food access – and how we can break the cycle.

Think animal serum such as fetal bovine serum (FBS) is required for cultivated meat production? Think again!
Scientists have developed numerous innovative media formulations that enable cultivated meat production without any animal-derived inputs.
