BREXIT MEANS WE RUN OUR OWN COUNTRY AGAIN
Summary:
The burgeoning “novel foods” or cultivated meats industry is set to grow massively in the coming years, to meet with the increased collision between consumer tastes and consumer concerns over eating animals and climate change. The UK is at the forefront of this industry from a scientific research perspective, and that is only possible due to being outside of the EU.
“Leaving the EU means we now have the capability to take something to market in the UK without having to have the sign-off from every European nation”
Explanation:
The burgeoning “novel foods” or cultivated meats industry is set to grow massively in the coming years, to meet with the increased collision between consumer tastes and consumer concerns over eating animals and climate change.
The UK is at the forefront of this industry from a scientific research perspective, and that is only possible due to being outside of the EU. Founder of Cambridge biotech startup Qkine, Catherine Hyvonen, said that, “leaving the EU means we now have the capability to take something to market in the UK without having to have the sign-off from every European nation”
In stark contrast to this status in the UK, the French newspaper Le Monde recently said of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that it “maintains production practices that are not sustainable in the face of climate and biodiversity challenges, and weakens European cohesion”.
