The government’s National Vision for Engineering Biology will invest £2 billion in research, development and infrastructure over the next 10 years, including in the UK’s “budding” cultivated meat industry.
Innovative UK companies in the cultivated meat and fermentation sectors are highlighted in the strategy, which also states that alternative proteins can enable climate and food security goals by “reducing pressure on land use for pasture”.
