This research project is conducting three case studies based in British Columbia, designed to be applicable and replicable across Canada. Exploring the potential risks that cellular agriculture and gene editing pose to marginalized communities and strategies to manage those risks.
Each case study team is working in collaboration with an industry partner and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) consultant assessing the environmental impact comparisons for each case study.
We have selected foods and food technologies to explore in each case study, all stand to be significantly transformed by emerging agri-genomic innovations:
