Virtual Event Series on Cellular Agriculture in Canada
A series of Chatham House virtual events designed to spark connections and innovation within the cellular agriculture community in Canada
2024 - Ongoing
CALL TO ACTION
In collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) and District3, we launched the virtual series “Landscape of Canadian Science and Technology in Cellular Agriculture” | “Panorama de la science et de la technologie canadiennes dans le domaine de l’agriculture cellulaire” with the goal to provide a platform to disseminate valuable information and to facilitate the building of meaningful connections among key players in the field.
We’ve covered industry perspectives, academic perspectives, and regulatory conversations so far, with more to come.

VIRTUAL SERIES ON CELL AG IN CANADA
Overview
Our work in Canada is a bit different than in other regions. With a smaller cellular agriculture ecosystem, New Harvest has played a larger role in increasing awareness of the concepts, opportunities, and challenges of cellular agriculture than in other regions.
Similarly, as we have been building the Canadian ecosystem through this initiative and others, we have created the space to consider the aspects of cellular agriculture within the Canadian context.
This virtual series has been a helpful platform for disseminating valuable information and facilitating the building of meaningful connections among key players in the field.
