支持する/優勝者ing the 法律 was a の近くに Meloni stalwart, Francesco Lollobrigida, who is the 大臣 of 農業, food 主権,独立 and forests. His 省´s 肩書を与える is a new one that 反映するs the 焦点(を合わせる) of Meloni's 右翼 連立政権 on homegrown 製品s.

A 政府 声明 said the 禁止(する) on lab-grown food was 提案するd, "in 尊敬(する)・点 for the 原則 of 警戒," to 保護する human health and Italy´s "farm-food 遺産."

Meloni's five-month-old 連合 has a comfortable 大多数 in 議会, but Italy's 法律を制定する 過程 is usually a long one, and there was no 指示,表示する物 when such a 法律 might become reality.

"We couldn't help but celebrate with our 農業者s a 手段 that puts Italy into the 先導 on a 主題 not only in the 弁護 of excellence, a 特に important 支配する for us, but also on the 主題 of the 弁護 of 消費者s,'' Meloni said outside the 首相's office after the 閣議.

によれば the U.S. Food and 麻薬 行政, no food made from cultured animal 独房s are 現在/一般に 利用できる for sale in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs. The 過程 that the FDA calls an "現れるing area of food science" 伴う/関わるs taking a small number of 独房s from living animals and growing them in a controlled 環境 to create food.

For now, 製造業者s are working on how to ramp up their 過程s to 産する/生じる 量s large enough for 競争の激しい pricing.

Meloni has long railed against food 傾向s that contrast with Italy's classic Mediterranean diet, which is 激しい on fruit and vegetables 同様に as pasta and fish. During her 選挙運動 last year, she 繰り返して lambasted European Union 支配するs 規制するing the use of insects for human food, 説 the 圏 should have concentrated more on energy 政策 than on niche foods.

分かれて, the 農業 大臣 発表するd that the 政府 had 調印するd four 法令s 規制するing flour derived from insects such as crickets. The 法令s 明示する that labels must 明確に 示す to 消費者s that the flour 含む/封じ込めるs ground-up insects.
