A major new initiative has been launched in the UK that seeks to radically transform the food supply by replacing traditional meat and dairy products with “planet-friendly alternatives” such as insects.
A $50 million nationwide center has been established to research and develop insect-based “foods” and lab-grown “meats.”
The center is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Innovate UK, and three universities.
The project aims to create “acceptable and planet-friendly alternatives to animal proteins.”
Launched by the University of Leeds, the virtual research center will examine Bill Gates-promoted lab-grown “meat.”
The center will also investigate the insect, plant, and fungus-based meat alternatives pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN).
The project seeks to determine the health, sustainability, and feasibility of eliminating traditional meat in the general public’s food supply.
The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (“NAPIC”) has a mission to develop “acceptable and planet-friendly alternatives to animal proteins.”
The center is set to research alternatives to animal proteins, particularly from insects, plants, fungi, algae, and meat grown in labs.
Funding has come from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Innovate UK, as well as three universities and the James Hutton Institute.
A statement by the organizations said replacing traditional agriculture with “alternative protein sources” is “critical if we are to meet increasing demands sustainably.”
Alternative proteins are derived from sources other than animals and include terrestrial and aquatic plants, insects, proteins derived via biomass or precision fermentation and cultured meat.
Over 30 researchers from the institutions will work with the farming industry, regulators, investors and policymakers to create a “vibrant alternative protein innovation ecosystem.”
In a statement about the project, the organization said:
“Animal agriculture is estimated to produce up to a fifth of planet-warming emissions, and with the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for protein is expected to rise significantly.
“Some sources, such as the UN Environment Programme, estimate meat consumption alone could grow up to 50 percent by 2050.
“We need to find more sustainable sources of protein and thankfully there is a huge biodiversity in non-animal sources of protein, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of this.”
Dutch scientist Mark Post unveiled the first lab-grown “meat” burger on live television in 2013.
The industry has since grown to more than 150 companies on 6 continents as of late 2022, backed by $2.6B in investments, each aiming to produce cultivated meat products.
Dozens more companies and globalist organizations have formed to create technology solutions along the value chain.
However, despite all the corporate media frenzy that’s circulated about prospects to “save the planet” by producing lab-grown “meat,” there’s a darker side to culturing muscle cells in a laboratory for food production.
Reports have emerged that reveal the claims of environmental “benefits” surrounding lab-grown “meat” have been fabricated.
In fact, studies have found that these “alternative proteins” are far worse for the environment than traditional animal-derived meats.
Fake meat, synthetic meat, test tube meat, franken meat, clean meat – call it what you will – is the trend to grow meat artificially in a laboratory.
The new industry has been attracting some impressive billionaire investment backing and media interest in recent times.
What has been interesting in this era of so-called “disinformation” and “fact-checking” is the number of media articles about fake meat that repeat false claims by its commercial proponents that real beef is bad for just about everything, while lab-grown products are without ethical or environmental baggage.
There is no apparent attempt to verify those claims from the corporate media.
Of course, eliminating farmers and replacing meat and dairy with corporate-controlled lab-grown “foods” has nothing at all to do with “saving the planet.”
It’s a globalist power grab that seeks to seize control of the global food supply.
