## About Hoxton Farms

Hoxton Farms is a London-based food technology and biotechnology startup founded in 2020.

The company specializes in producing cultivated animal fat, known as Hoxton Fat, from stem cells. This innovative ingredient serves as a sustainable and cruelty-free alternative to traditional animal and plant-based fats, enhancing the taste and texture of plant-based and hybrid meat products. Using a proprietary tissue culture system, Hoxton Farms combines cell biology, mathematical modeling, and machine learning to optimize fat cell growth in bioreactors. This process allows for the precision cultivation of fat cells that replicate the sensory properties of real animal fat. The company supplies its cultivated fat to food manufacturers, focusing on the meat alternatives industry and aiming to improve sustainability and ethics in food production. Hoxton Farms is committed to creating scalable animal fat to support the adoption of sustainable meat alternatives, contributing to a more ethical food system.
