The National Agency for Food Safety (ANSA) held a series of seminars (in Keușen and Bălți) for producers of seeds and planting material, as well as for inspectors from its regional offices.

The world’s first farm to produce meat without slaughtering animals has opened in the Netherlands. Instead of barns, the farm uses bioreactors—special systems in which a small sample of cells is grown into a whole piece of muscle tissue.
