CULT Food Science CEO to Speak at Phosphorus Forum in Raleigh, North Carolina

TORONTO - CULT Food Science Corp. ("CULT" or the "Company") (CSE: CULT) (OTC: CULTF) (FRA: LN0), an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on cellular agriculture that is advancing the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental, and ethical solution to the global factory farming and aquaculture crises, is pleased to announce that its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Lejjy Gafour, has been invited to speak at the Annual Phosphorus Forum (the "Forum") on November 1, 2022, in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Forum, which takes place on November 1-2 as well as the Sustainable Phosphorus Summit (the "Summit"), which takes place on November 3-4, are both a part of Phosphorus Week 2022 ("Phosphorus Week"). Mr. Gafour's presentation at the Forum may contain forward-looking information.

Lejjy is scheduled to speak on November 1st, 2022, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time and his presentation will be entitled "Not Slaughtering Sacred Cows: The Promise of Cellular Foods". People attending the Forum typically represent a broad set of affiliations including companies, governments, research institutes and non-profits with stakes in fields such as phosphate mining, crop and animal agriculture, wastewater treatment for nutrients, nutrient management, recycling and more.1 More information about Phosphorus Week, the Forum and the Summit can be found at: https://phosphorusalliance.org/phosphorus-forum/.

The Science and Technologies for Phosphorus Sustainability Center (the "STEPS Center") and the Alliance are hosting the Forum, where leaders in a variety of areas interact, and collaborate in relation to phosphorus sustainability. The Alliance is associated with Arizona State University and it promotes and supports a food system that manages phosphorus in a more sustainable manner in order to protect rivers, lakes and oceans, while providing the world with nutritious food.2 The STEPS Center is a research community of diverse and leading scientists that addresses the complex challenges in phosphorus sustainability by incorporating disciplinary influences across the physical, life, social, and economic sciences.3 More information about the Alliance and the STEPS Center can be found at https://phosphorusalliance.org and https://steps-center.org, respectively.

Management Commentary
"I am looking forward to speaking at the Forum and think it is a great opportunity to engage with other leaders, in a variety of industries, with a common goal of resource sustainability not just regarding food," said Lejjy Gafour, CEO of CULT. "It is important to us that we work with and support other industries that want to create a sustainable future and innovative solutions. To hear leaders present their views regarding their areas of expertise, and explain their ideas to help improve our strained global food system, our environment, and our need for sustainability will be very interesting not only for myself and CULT, but also for the large group of attendees," added Mr. Gafour.

How to fix a leaking pond.

Video: How to fix a leaking pond.

Does the pond leak? Ummmm....possibly a tiny bit. Well, more than a bit...ok, the darn thing leaks like a sieve!

QUESTIONS ANSWERED: Damit is not plastic. Therefore, there are no microplastics. I wish I had not mentioned plastic, but that is a very common polymer and I mentioned it as an example of a polymer. A polymer is simply a chain of repeating molecules, or "monomers." Cellulose is a polymer of glucose molecules. Starches are also polymers of various molecules such as fructose, maltose, etc. We have many polymers inside our bodies. In other words, just knowing something is a polymer doesn't make it bad, toxic, harmful, etc. However, this also doesn't mean all polymers are safe.

The specific polymer used for Damit is a trade secret, however, it has been closely scrutinized by multiple health and safety authorities. This includes the governmental authorities of Australia, the USA, Europe, and Asia. Not only have they determined that is safe to use in earthen ponds, and not harmful to fish, but it is considered safe to use in human potable water systems in all of these areas. And of course, they know the exact makeup of the polymer when making this determination. I'm told that the same polymer is in use by many municipalities to keep potable water storage tanks leak free. I can't tell you exactly what the polymer is, because I don't know, but given the confidence with which the governmental authorities have authorized its use, I would bet it is made of a monomer that we are exposed to all the time, like fructose or something.

It also breaks down in a matter of years, and does not accumulate in the environment. The end products of breaking down are CO2, water, and base minerals like potassium. The SDS reports no need for concern with ingestion, inhalation, or contact. If in eyes, rinse with water.

End result, can I say for sure that it is 100% safe? No, I don't know exactly what it is. But given people who do know exactly what it is, and have scrutinized it, have approved it for use in human potable water systems, I'm pretty comfortable putting it in an earthen pond.
