“Aleph Farms is at an inflection point and has promising potential to significantly optimize the way we approach the production of animal-based products by improving sustainability, food security, and animal welfare conditions in our food systems,” said Mr. Benmoussa. “I am extremely excited to join Didier and his team, and help drive this transformation from our new US offices.”
