This great article from POLITICO Europe highlights an ongoing debate within EU policymakers and governments.

Bold actions are needed at regulatory level to drive change and correct subsidies that fuel a trend of production that we cannot sustain. Thank you, Alessandro Ford, for highlighting this critical matter. #precisionfermentation #climateaction #foodtech #futureoffood #impactinvestment
