　　Passage two

　　In a small laboratory at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Vladimir Mironov has been working for a decade to grow meat. A

　　developmental biologist and tissue engineer, Dr. Mironov, is one of only a few scientists worldwide involved in bioengineering cultured meat.

　　Its a product he believes could help solve future global food crises resulting from shrinking amounts of land available for growing meat the old-fashioned way.

　　Growth of cultured meat is also under way in the Netherlands, Mironov told Reuters in an interview, but in the United States, it is science in search of funding and demand.

　　The new National Institute of Food and Agriculture wont fund it, the National Institutes of Health wont fund it, and the NASA funded it only briefly, Mironov said.

　　Its classic disruptive technology, Mironov said. Bringing any new technology on the market, on average, costs $1 billion. We dont even have $1 million.
