Dopo che l'Italia è diventata l'unico paese al mondo ad aver vietato la carne coltivata, parliamo con i ricercatori del futuro che li aspetta.
Following the controversial cultivated meat ban, some fear an exodus of talented young scientists – particularly unwelcome given nearly 10% of Italians already live abroad – while others are concerned the move may cut off future funding opportunities and damage the country’s scientific standing on the global stage.
The UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has today highlighted the critical role that alternative proteins like cultivated meat can play in achieving key national objectives for economic growth and food production as part of the National Vision for Engineering Biology.
The latest Horizon Europe deadlines are fast approaching, with calls offering exciting opportunities closing early in 2024. Our Research and Grants Manager Stella Child walks through the key calls for alternative protein researchers.
Dopo che non è stato possibile partecipare alle audizioni parlamentari, come Good Food Institute Europe abbiamo trasmesso alle Commissioni della Camera dei Deputati le nostre osservazioni sul disegno di legge governativo che vieta la carne coltivata in Italia e impedisce di usare termini come “salame” o “bistecca” per prodotti a base di proteine vegetali (A.C. 1324).
“La notizia diffusasi in Italia secondo cui la Commissione per l’Agricoltura e lo Sviluppo Rurale del Parlamento Europeo avrebbe adottato un divieto riguardante la carne coltivata è errata” hanno affermato gli esperti del think tank no-profit Good Food Institute Europe.
The newly formed Italian Complementary Protein Alliance, representing a cross-section of stakeholders with interests in Italy’s agri-food landscape, was unable to take part in the hearings as they only became public after the deadline for requesting participation had passed.
All’Alleanza Italiana per le Proteine Complementari, recentemente costituita, non è stato possibile prendere parte alle audizioni poiché sono diventate pubbliche solo quando il termine per poter partecipare era scaduto.
Companies have received €1.2 million in additional funding from EIT Food to develop innovative products to reduce the cost of producing cultivated meat within the next two years.
GFI's 2023 research grant programme is open for proposals. Meet some of the researchers at the cutting edge of this burgeoning sector, learn how their work was helped by our grant programme, and how to apply to this year's scheme.
