JERUSALEM, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Israeli food-tech company BioMilk says it is developing the first-ever milk and dairy products secreted using cultured mammalian cells in a lab.
Nathaniel Benchemhoun, BioMilk's vice president of business development, told Xinhua that the "dairy industry is forecasted to grow to over 1 trillion U.S. dollars a year in 2024" and it can't continue to operate in the same way.
He said that BioMilk strives to team up with leading traditional dairy companies around the globe to market a new kind of future milk that will be much more environmentally friendly.
