Jessica Freitag, Head of Advocacy at Cellular Agriculture Australia, (shown left) has penned an insightful new piece, “From Coal to Cultivated: Why Biomanufacturing Is Australia’s Next Big Opportunity.” 


This must-read article delves into the transformative potential of biomanufacturing and its role in building a sustainable, future-focused economy. If you’ve been curious about concepts like the bioeconomy and cellular agriculture, Jessica Freitag’s piece breaks them down and explores why Australia is uniquely positioned to lead this growing sector.


“The growing momentum of concepts like ‘biomanufacturing’ and the ‘bioeconomy’ over the past year has been fascinating to watch,” Jessica writes. “Whilst these terms are not new, they appear to have rapidly gained traction with an array of reports and articles popping up.”


In her article, Jessica explains how biomanufacturing uses biological processes to create sustainable products, such as cultivated meats, eco-friendly materials, and biofuels, offering ethical and environmentally conscious alternatives to traditional industries. These innovations promise far-reaching benefits for consumers, from reducing carbon emissions to ensuring food security in the face of global challenges.
