This month on Repast, Diana talks with Maria Trubetskaya and Justine Kim, UCLA Law’s inaugural Future of Food Fellows. The Future of Food Initiative was created as an interdisciplinary collaboration between graduate students working in different fields to address issues and obstacles in the creation and path to market of cultivated meat. Here, Diana, Maria, and Justine discuss cultivated meat, its regulation, this collaboration, and more.

Justine is a rising 3L at UCLA Law School, interested in pursuing personal injury law. Maria graduated from UCLA Law in May 2025 with a specialization in Critical Race Studies. They are joining a big law firm this fall as an associate in their commercial litigation practice. 

Diana Winters is the Deputy Director of the Resnick Center for Food Law & Policy at UCLA Law.
