The Problem
01
An Inefficient Food System
Conventional animal agriculture is highly inefficient, using the majority of land and water in the agricultural system while producing less than ⅕ of the calories.
02
Increased Health Concerns
Conventional animal agriculture increases the risks of zoonotic diseases (diseases transmitted between species) and antibiotic resistance dramatically and causes food-borne illness.
There is an urgent need to invest in a sustainable and resilient method of protein production that provides clean economic growth, mitigates environmental degradation, and increases food security.
The solution is cultivated meat.
Since its first debut in 2013, cultivated meat is growing rapidly and has been regulated for sale in the US and Singapore. 75,000+ full-time jobs could be created in a Canadian cultivated meat sector by 2030 with proper support and investment.
Our Policy Asks
We call on the federal government to create new cultivated meat policies to realize the potential of this sector - specifically addressing these issues.
Education
Provide job training support for this emerging sector and public education on cultivated meat.
Regulatory Support
Create clear and fair regulatory pathways developed in consultation with industry players.
We shall escape the absurdity
of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium"
