New Canaan Library Presents: What is Lab-Grown Meat? Q&A With New Harvest

You’ve probably heard the buzz around plant-based meat substitutes like Beyond Meat and the Impossible Burger which are infiltrating fast food restaurants and causing people to more easily achieve ‘Meatless Monday.’ But how much do you know about cellular agriculture AKA lab-grown meat? And what effect does lab-grown meat have on environmental health and human health? Learn this and more from New Harvest Engagement Associate, Meera Zassenhaus, who will explain what cellular agriculture is exactly, and highlight some projects New Harvest is currently engaged in. New Harvest is a non-profit research institution based in New York City that strategically funds and conducts open, public, collaborative research that reinvents the way we make animal products– without animals.
