Food and Health (SURREY) Sample Clauses

Food and Health (SURREY). A Healthy Future for the Potato (Netherlands): Potatoes are one of the world’s most important food crops, but they are widely susceptible to blight and pests. Solynta, a company out of Wageningen University, has developed a method that allows potatoes to be reproduced more quickly using hybrid seeds. This could increase the speed at which potatoes can be modified through breeding, and thus make improved strains available in the form of seeds. The Rathenau Institute, Wageningen University, and the University of Groningen are working together to study how this new reproductive method might change potato farming, and what possible implications this could have for farmers and other stakeholders. The partners in this project aim to ‘involve as many stakeholders as possible from the sector and from society in a debate on the potential implications of this new development in terms of productivity, fairness and sustainability’ (Rathenau Institute, 2016). ‘A Healthy Future for the Potato’ is funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and is explicitly RRI-focused. We selected this project in part because of this focus, and partly because it began only a few months ago; as such, we have the opportunity to see and understand how RRI is being implemented right now, what processes the researchers are using to engage with which societal stakeholders, and what barriers and incentives are at play in this situation. EPINET: In-Vitro Meat (International): The aim of EPINET was to engage with the researchers and societal actors who are invested in the small, but growing, field of in-vitro meat (IVM). IVM involves using stem cell research to grow animal muscle tissue in a lab that can then be layered to produce food for human consumption; through this technique, meat is essentially grown outside of an animal. This innovation has primarily been used to grow cow muscle tissue (‘beef’), and in 2013 a ‘cultured’ burger produced by Maastricht University was cooked and tasted at a press conference. IVM has been aligned with addressing a variety of ‘societal grand challenges’, particularly the health of humans, other species, and the environment through reducing the need for large scale animal farming. Dramatically reducing livestock farming could lower greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce water, land, and energy use; it could contribute to improved human and nonhuman animal health issues by reducing the instance of antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic dis...
