Animal protein: From pen/feedlot/barn or from a petri-dish/lab
As a member of the National Coalition for Food and Agriculture Research (NC-FAR) FASS joins other partners in providing information for Congress and the public. One of the signature activities of NC-FAR are the Hill Seminars. Their goal is to Inform Hill Staff and other policy stakeholders about the value of public investment in food and ag research through seminars featuring leading edge researchers and extension specialists on topics of high interest. This helps staff make more informed recommendations about federal funding for Food and Ag RE&E. This year the FASS SPC nominated topic, “ANIMAL PROTEIN: FROM PEN/FEEDLOT/BARN OR FROM A PETRI-DISH/LAB?” was selected for presentation as a webinar that was held on November 30. A brief description was: Lab-grown meat is a topic of increasing interest among both producers and the public. It is expected that these products are likely coming in the “near future” to a store near you. This has implications and raises questions for both producers and the public. Dr. Keith Belk ,Professor and Head of the Department of Animal Science as well as an Adjunct Professor in the Colorado School of Public Health, discusses the current status of the technology.
