You probably have never heard of the start-up company Memphis Meats.
Based on its name you likely figure it is based in Memphis,Tennessee and its stock and trade is meat.
You would certainly be wrong on location – it calls San Leandro, California home. And as to the meat … well that is yet to be determined.
Memphis Meats is in a technology race with Israeli company Aleph Farms and others to grow what it calls “clean” meat for human consumption in a laboratory from animal cells sooner rather than later.
Brazilian food giant JBS, the top-selling meat processing company in the world, is moving its business headquarters to Ireland.
This past summer, the International Olympic Committee awarded China the winter games for 2022. What does that have to do with agriculture, you might reasonably ask?
U.S. meat producers are looking to expand in China.
