European Food Biotech Alliance Aims to Overcome Regulatory and Investment Hurdles

A new cross-sector alliance aims to align research, policy and investment to build consumer trust and scale innovation. Industry analysts suggest food biotech could capture a $138 billion global market within the decade.
