I was pleased to learn the Netherlands has announced $65 million in public funding to support the country’s nascent cellular-agriculture industry. This will help hasten the adoption of cultivated meat, which is grown from cells, without slaughter. It’s better for the environment, public health and animal welfare than raising livestock.
“We are very excited for the visionary leadership the government is demonstrating,” said Ira van Eelen of the Dutch Cellular Agriculture Foundation. “The Netherlands is the ideal place for cellular agriculture to flourish. It has a rich history in laying the global foundations of cellular agriculture.”

We can create a better world, with fewer greenhouse-gas emissions, reduced risk of zoonotic dis-eases making the jump to humans, and less animal suffering.
