  1. Fostering European cellular Agriculture for Sustainable Transition Solutions

    Jette F Young , Martin Krøyer Rasmussen , Margrethe Therkildsen & Barbara Vad Andersen

    There is a unique opportunity for an effective re-organisation of the food system to establish resilient value chains in the EU. Gathering a large set of independent food system actors, FEASTS will provide an unprecedented, unbiased and robust knowledge base for the assessment of the sustainability aspects of the Cultivated Meat/Cultivated Sea Food sector by actively promoting multistakeholder engagement and co-creation activities grounded on transparent dialogue and open science practices.
