The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Lab grown meat: UK missing out on Brexit freedoms of humane meat market power” – below is their description.
A leading British startup has threatened to withdraw operations from the UK if the government doesn’t take advantage of new Brexit regulatory freedoms.
The CEO of Ivy Farm Technologies, which produces lab-grown meat, warned sticking to the EU’s food regulations would leave Britain behind in the global race for agricultural innovation.
