Union Minister Maneka Gandhi on Saturday strongly supported the promotion of ‘clean meat’ (laboratory-grown meat) against animal meat and said that it is the future of protein. Maneka was addressing a gathering after the inauguration of ‘The Future of Protein: A Summit on the new food revolution’ in Hyderabad.

“Clean meat has been invented. The cellular multiplications of meat cells in a meat serum is already there. The point is, how do we put it into a commercial form and how do we involve industry?” she told reporters.
