        <description><![CDATA[ Cultivated meat is pushing the boundaries of food production at a time when the agriculture industry is racing to keep up with growing demand. As the world population approaches 10 billion by 2050, we need to find new ways to supplement our future food supply and maximize resource use to meet demand and feed people. Researchers at the Virginia Seafood AREC are helping to usher in the era of lab-to-table protein to help to fill that gap. The Future Foods Lab and Cellular Agriculture Initiative is a multi-disciplinary program designed to help to meet these needs by advancing research in alternative proteins, cellular agriculture, food supply chains, and food safety engineering.
