Agreed barwickman, red is a very popular colour across the board today. Doesn't concern me as far as ANIC is concerned as this is my long term hold so daily fluctuations don't bother me (too much - as long as they're not too red) Wishing you well.

Holding steady - until today. A little profit taking after the recent rise from 19p is only to be expected I suppose. Happy to keep topping up along the journey. There'll be plenty news flow coming down the tracks with the media coverage lab grown meat is starting to generate on a regular basis.

MASK231 - Forgot to say good luck with your recuperation following your operation - wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the heads up on the article MAZK. Well put RWT2 - It's always good to get another perspective. We investors (myself included) do have a natural bias in believing all will be well and this will be a widely adopted technology. Haven't finished reading the full narrative, one for the weekend with a pot of tea to fully digest what's being said, but I get the gist. My overriding thought though is that 'necessity is the mother of all invention'

With 10 billion people on the planet with an increasing requirement for meat and land for our existing animal husbandry being devoured at far too great a rate, cell-ag could just be the solution. I'd like to think it can eat in to existing super agro businesses in time, but if it just fills the gap between 7.8 billion humans and 10 billion humans then it's still a whopping market place.

Predictions are the planet will need to produce up to 70% more meat than we do now in the next 20-30 years to feed the growing demand and population - that's a truly eye watering amount of meat. When current animal agriculture is rapidly turning our planet into an untreated sewer, god forbid what the planet will be like if we continue on the current path.

If garlic bread was once the future, let cell-ag now take its place.

Thanks Italian, I think I understand a little better (well partly anyway) In summary someone in the states wants to get their hands on some ANIC shares and this is there only way of going about getting some. We are certainly heading in the right direction now having gained some traction this week. Happy to build and hold. Have a good Friday

Cheers Italian - what you're saying makes sense. I only trade in UK quoted stocks and I'm very green as to overseas trading in UK stocks from abroad. Thanks for clarifying. All the best.

I could be wrong about AGNMF not being linked to ANIC, ignore my last post.

I don’t believe that this ticker/company has any link to Agronomics here in the UK (ANIC) I heard someone raise a point with Jim Mellon on an interview about Anic being quoted on other markets and he denied Anic Uk was quoted on other stock markets and he would look in to it. Maybe it’s another business piggy backing the Agronomics name for their own gain, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the Jim Mellon/Richard Reed company.

wgg58 - You've nailed it my friend. Very succinct and eloquently put.

RWT2 - 5-10 years is only my opinion for change, though listening to the Tony Seba RethinkX lecture at the weekend regarding disruptive technologies in recent history, the powers that be have most often seriously underestimated how fast the changes have taken place. Remember the iPhone was only launched in 07 - where where Nokia soon after? Popping a little seaweed in the cattle mix will be like sticking your finger in a burst dike. A do agree that there will be smaller family artisanal farms in the dales and sheep on the fells for many years to come but the big dairy and agro businesses will all but go.

I think removing meat and dairy from your cell-ag company name may prove a good long term decision. The meat and dairy industry as we know it now will not exist in 5-10 years and the associated (and rightly so) bad press around these industries will only grow as the masses wake up to the global damage these industries do the environment, human health and the appalling animal welfare practices. You certainly don't want your fresh, environmentally/animal friendly cell-ag business being associated with conventional animal husbandry that's for sure.

Just had a little re-shuffle of my portfolio to accommodate another 10,000 Anic shares - now just 15,000 short of my target holding.

That sounds like a plan. I hope we are all fit and well at our cell-ag success party and hopefully considerably more wealthy than we are today - I strongly suspect we will be. Will I still be plant powered only in 10 years? Or will I succumb to the temptation of a cell ag woolly mammoth burger.

Very valid point GVH. As Boy George once eloquently sang ‘people are stupid’ and we really are, as the world gets richer people want to eat meat, it’s a true but sad fact. Look at China’s meat consumption as they have become wealthier - it’s both unsustainable and stratospheric the growth in animal agriculture. What government around the world is going to instruct it’s people to eat less meat? The cell-ag businesses are of course in this for financial gain, we live in a capitalist society (in the main) though there’s a whole lot more altruism in cell ag than conventional animal husbandry that’s for sure. The meat atlas pdf document is an interesting read - frightening in parts but very interesting.

CO2 shortages in the Uk about to cause food shortages!

Another food retail boss said that it was a moment of national emergency, adding that he had been told by a prominent abattoir client that they only had four days’ worth of gas left. The gas is used to stun animals before slaughter.

Yet another reason we need to get cellular meat scaled up and commercialised as soon as possible. The farmers in America had to recently cull their own animals when the abattoir workers were off with COVID-19. They were weeping and wailing on the news when the had to shoot their pigs, but it’s ok in normal times to delegate that responsibility to a poorly paid slaughter house worker. The good things that will come out of cell ag are going to be fantastic for our planet.

Afternoon Trumpy, I'm sure the many billions of factory farmed animals would argue something a little different, the cows aren't too keen on the bolt gun to the head followed by their throats slitting if the bolt doesn't work (quite often), the pigs aren't keen on their heads being electricuted unless gassing is available and then they fry from inside (excuse the sick pun) as for the chickens and lambs I won't go there. Deforestation is very very bad, but arguably the worst part of the meat industry? - I don't really think so my friend. Future generations will look back on present day animal exploitation as we look back on slavery and say to themselves, did people really do that? Roll on cellular agriculture scale up so we can move away from todays shameful practices. Final Friday rant now over - and breathe.

That article is absolute rubbish.

And no method has yet been developed to ensure that cellular meat contains crucial micronutrients, such as vitamin B12 and iron, that are specific to animal products. According to the Meat Atlas report, “a rapid shift from conventional meat to cell-based meat seems improbable in the near future.

Cellular meat will be far superior in every way to traditional meat - no antibiotics, no fecal, contamination, e-coli and all the other nasties associated with our current meat production and slaughter system. All the vitamins and micro nutrients will be dialled in as part of the growth recipe for cell ag - in fact you could add epa, dha, iodine and any/all other vital human required nutrients/vitamins our bodies need. It 'could' become a real superfood - lab developed, but a superfood non the less. Animals provide B12 only because of the grubs and bugs they eat, it's not built in to the meat as the animal grows. My morning bran flakes are fortified with B12 so what a load of baloney that argument is. Some people really need to educate themselves a whole lot more about what they put inside their bodies and perhaps we wouldn't have the world wide health and obesity epidemic we now have.

I do get frustrated with those in the animal agriculture industry who spout such rubbish. Adam Henson and the cuddly BBC countryfile presenters constantly dressing up animal farming to be what it really isn't. We love our animals as they sit on a bale of hay in the sunshine hugging a new born lamb - show the veiwers the kill floor six months down the line and the brutality of a barbaric system to see where there meat really comes from.

Apologies for my Friday rant but some people get my goat. The animal industry will do what the cigarette industry did for years - peddle doubt in the minds of the foolish and keep pushing their agenda to eek a few more years out of a system that should have been outlawed years ago.

Have a nice day all. idg69

Cheers Oogle, I understand why you have a preference for Anic over Fogb. I do feel much greater gains will be had with Anic but I need to keep a balanced and varied portfolio and spread my risk having been burnt in the past having all my eggs in one basket. I too trade through iWeb but haven’t come across any problems trading fogb or any other stocks. I’d like to get to 100,000 Anic shares and then hold for a good few years. A little disappointed I couldn't top up a few weeks back at 19p but I had unforeseen car costs which took priority. Wishing you well.

Hey Oogle - you're famous (well not quite) check out your BB post featured at 3.09 mins on the ANIC media video on YouTube - click the ANIC media button on LSE to access the clip.

By the way, are you still invested in FOGB? There appears to have been a little profit taking this week, down 4% from recent highs. I'm not concerned as I see it as a slow riser over the coming years.

Wishing you well. idg69

I would say that it’s very good news. To have gained the financial and biotech backing from a seasoned player such as DSM is excellent for a company like meatable. The experience they will have in r&d, scalability of product lines, etc will be invaluable and will really accelerate the growth and development of meatable as a product and business. Anic is developing a great stable of fine fillies all set for the races.

I think this board is going to be choc a bloc with good news cell-ag stories in the coming weeks, months and years. It’s going to be difficult just keeping up with them. The money is flowing fast into this sector now and progress and growth will be stratospheric. I’m very happy to be in at this price. 8 years to retirement and happy to hold until then if necessary.

An interesting listen, but I really can't take anyone from the MSC seriously or allow them any credibility having watched Seaspiracy - Interesting that Jim mentions and encourages people to watch Seaspiracy (Netflix). I'll bet that guy was squirming in his seat when he said that. Sustainable fishing of the oceans is an oxymoron if ever there was one.
