Scaling Precision Fermentation: Ireland’s Opportunity in Sustainable Food
Scaling Precision Fermentation: Ireland’s Opportunity in Sustainable Food
Precision fermentation is moving from the lab bench to the production line, promising a new generation of proteins, fats, and functional ingredients grown with a fraction of the land, water, and emissions of conventional agriculture. For Ireland, whose economy and identity are deeply tied to agri-science, the question isn't whether this technology matters, but how to position itself as the sector scales.
This panel brings together perspectives across policy, research, and industry to examine precision fermentation’s trajectory over the next decade. Speakers will explore regulation, infrastructure, and investment needed to build a viable market, while discussing how Ireland’s existing strengths in dairy science, biotech, and food innovation give it a distinct advantage.
