1. Happy to see the impact of animal foods being talked about and addressed more and more.

   >“This is a significant opportunity for North Carolina to not only be a state with a thriving animal-sourced foods sector, but also one where it is a powerhouse in complementary proteins, building new industry and driving economic growth for the state,” said Bill Aimutis, co-principal investigator on the grant and co-director of the new center who has extensive experience working with sustainable protein producers and start-up companies.

   I wish they wouldn’t pander to the animal agriculture industry- we need to be honest about the damage it causes and transition away from it as a society.

   Precision fermentation could be a hugely impactful technology and I’m glad to see it funded. In the meantime, those of us who are serious about climate change and environmental degradation should be eating plant based diets.
