Global Workshop Explores Cultured Meat Culture

Cultured meat is attracting attention as a novel food technology. The direction of technological development and regulation varies remarkably from region to region. We will have an international workshop inviting researchers from overseas who are studying the emergence of cultured meat from the perspective of social science. The development of cultured meat in each country is based on multiple layers of the meaning of eating (meat eating), imaginary of technology, and national strategies. By unpacking this development process, we will rediscover the culture that we depend on and have a future vision where technology and society will harmonize. We welcome people who are interested in cultured meat as well as those interested in the social implementation of new technology. We look forward to having you join us!
