Muad Hrezi, Larson challenger, supports cell-ag development
Muad Hrezi, who is primarying Rep. John Larson, supports increased funding for cultivated-meat research. He sent me the following email:
“I believe investing in cultivated-meat research is a no-brainer, and I would support increasing USDA funding for this research. I would have signed on to Rep. Ro Khanna's letter to Secretary Vilsack calling for at least $50 million in funding for alternative protein research. As climate change intensifies, we have to take a serious look at the threat of food insecurity, and investing in the research and science that can help us be more resilient is critical. That, along with the environmental and public health benefits of alternative proteins, demands our attention and investment.”
