Dairy from Potatoes? How Molecular Farming is Redefining Sustainable Food in 2024

Discover how Israeli startups like Finally Foods use molecular farming to create real dairy proteins from potatoes, pork from soybeans, and beef from peas. Explore the future of sustainable, animal-free food.

Imagine biting into a slice of melty, stretchy cheese made not from cow’s milk, but from a humble potato. Sounds like science fiction? Thanks to molecular farming, this revolutionary concept is now a reality. Israeli startup Finally Foods is leading the charge, genetically engineering potatoes to produce casein—the protein that gives cheese its iconic texture—while companies like Moolec Science and IngredientWerks are redefining meat substitutes with pork-infused soybeans and beef-flavored peas. In this blog, we unpack how molecular farming is transforming plants into protein factories, offering sustainable, ethical, and healthier alternatives to traditional agriculture.
