Description (French)
Le marché émergent de la viande propre gagne considérablement en importance, car les consommateurs font de plus en plus de choix alimentaires fondés sur des préoccupations éthiques et environnementales. Les producteurs de viande d'origine végétale ont déjà des produits en vente dans des épiceries et des chaînes de restauration rapide partout au pays. En outre, les entreprises qui développent des viandes cultivées en laboratoire à partir de cellules animales réalisent des investissements importants et devraient entrer sur le marché dans les années à venir. Spiderwort est une entreprise de bioproduits qui a développé de nouveaux produits à base de plantes pour de nombreuses applications à valeur élevée, notamment pour le développement de la viande propre. L'objectif de ce projet est d'affiner les procédés de développement de la viande propre d'origine végétale d'un point de vue réglementaire.
