From Fauna, formerly known as the Cellular Agriculture Society, is an international, 501(c)(3), lobby organization[1] for research, funding, and advancement[2] of cellular agriculture.[3] It is based in Miami,[4] and was founded by Kris Spiros[a][6] in the early 2010s.[7]

Cellular agriculture is the emerging science of producing animal products from cells instead of from live animals.[8] Widespread adoption has been hindered by hurdles in legislative reaction, such as livestock organizations petitioning governments for bans on cultured meat being termed in the market as "meat".[9]

In 2023, the Cellular Agriculture Society released Modern Meat, a freely available 600-page textbook[10] which was the first on the subject of cultured meat.[11] They have also created children's books, educational simulations, social science research, and designed the theoretical workings and architecture of a cultured meat facility through Project CMF,[12] which envisions what cultured meat production could look like in 2024.[13]
