My involvement with the FEASTS project stems from personal motivation, and I hold no affiliations with any entities within the consortium. My aim is to dissect and comprehend the comprehensive aspects of cultured meat and seafood production over the next three years. The FEASTS project combines technology, nutrition, health regulations, and ethical considerations.
The goal is to cultivate a well-informed conversation around cellular agriculture, spotlighting its capability to tackle pressing matters such as food security, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic challenges in the food industry. Through engagement with a variety of viewpoints within the FEASTS consortium and elsewhere, I seek to enrich the ongoing discourse on sustainable food systems, advocating for a shift towards more robust and sustainable food value chains.
