Lab-grown meat

Santhosh Kumar 24/06/2023

Lab-grown meat
Context
Cell-cultivated chicken approved for production and sale by U.S. government
Source: TH
Significant step towards
reducing global food industry carbon emissions
About Cell cultivated meat
Isolation and growth of cells
that makeup chicken meat in a controlled environment
Process conducted in a bioreactor or cultivator
Cells processed with additives for
texture and appearance enhancement
Significance
Developed to address concerns about
emissions, land use, animal welfare, food security, and customization
Potential to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions
land use related to traditional livestock farming
Offers customization
for healthier and sustainable alternatives
Challenges
Consumer acceptance
Cost reduction
Availability of high-quality cells and production resources
