Petitions

Cultivated meat technology is the future of the agricultural industry. This alternative way of creating meat will benefit Canadians' health, economy and environment.


There is an urgent need to address the funding, regulatory, and educational gaps to provide a solid foundation for this new industry to thrive. We the undersigned, along with Reimagine Agriculture, put forward the following three policy asks to address our concerns regarding the shift from conventional to cultivated meat; 

 

Funding: 

The Federal Government of Canada must make funding accessible to the cultivated meat industry. Canada must support the research and development of cultivated meat technology and start-up organizations within the industry. 


Regulation: 

The Federal Government of Canada and The Provincial Governing Bodies must collaborate to create regulations addressing the development of a cultivated meat industry and the sale of cultivated meat products.  


Education:

In collaboration with the provinces, we insist that cultivated meat's environmental, social and economic benefits are taught to Canadian students. This will ensure their inclusion and success in the global modernization of food security in a climate-challenged world. 

This is a summary, you can read the entire petition here.
