In 2023, the Cellular Agriculture Society released Modern Meat, a freely available 600-page textbook[9] which was the first on the subject of cultured meat.[10] 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,[11] which envisions what cultured meat production could look like in 2040.[12]
