DARPA seeks ‘top chef’ for 3D printed food
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is inviting small-business innovators to submit ideas for turning cellular biomass created through its ReSource program into safe, visually appealing, edible and palatable food that can support the military and civilians when traditional food is unavailable.
DARPA’s ReSource program aims to engineer versatile, durable systems that use local feedstock and mixed waste to rapidly produce a wide range of on-demand products, ranging from potable water and “edible macronutrient” to lubricants, adhesives and tactical fibers to support expeditionary units and humanitarian relief operations.
Announced Nov. 23, the Innovative Nutritional Formulations program aims to turn edible biomass into palatable food rations at scale under austere conditions for disaster relief, as a backup food supply for submarines and aircraft carriers and to supplement vulnerable supply lines. Besides delivering sufficient calories, vitamins and nutrition for those in inaccessible locations, the program aims to reduce the military infrastructure’s carbon footprint, maximize on-site resources and develop ways to generate materials in the field.
Proposers can develop the cellular biomass into liquid, powder, paste or edible ink -- so long as it is compatible “with 3D printing formats and other, low footprint, minimal logistical technologies,” DARPA said. Other considerations include sterilization or pasteurization requirements, the on-site sourcing of materials and compatibility with design of the overall system.

EVERY Company raises $175m to ferment animal-free proteins at scale
Precision fermentation startup The EVERY Company has raised $175 million, bringing its total funding to date to $233 million.
San Francisco, California-based EVERY currently has two products available: a pig-free version of pepsin, an ingredient used in a foods and pharmaceuticals, and ClearEgg, a colorless, animal-free egg protein meant to boost nutrition in other food and beverage products.
EVERY founder and CEO Arturo Elizondo said his company’s “major objective is to scale the platform to make good on our promise to bring our proteins to everyone, everywhere.”
“This new injection of capital will allow us to do just that,” he said in a statement.
The company’s long-term plan is to create a portfolio of animal-free egg proteins with different functionalities.
