Lab-grown meat, cultivated meat, cell-based meat, slaughter-free meat: All of these terms refer to the process of creating real meat from animal cells, despite names that may allude to a vegan product. What benefits are there to growing meat from chicken cells rather than raising animals for slaughter? Industrial animal agriculture is responsible for an estimated 15 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions, and with demand for meat projected to double in the next decade, this technology could offer a more sustainable option. Come with us as we step inside a lab-grown meat facility, and become some of the first to taste-test chicken that was grown in a bioreactor instead of on a factory farm. #sustainability #climatechange #food #engineering #manufacturing #labgrown #meat https://lnkd.in/g5sDPYMr

Large-scale, Lab-grown Meat: Step Inside A Cultivated Meat Factory #knowledgesharing #knowledgeispower #interestingfacts #interestingread #whatdoyouthink #differentperspective #labgrownmeat #cultivatedmeat #sustainability #futurefood

The demand for meat is expected to skyrocket in the coming decades, which could take a toll on the environment, human health, and animals if continuously produced in unsustainable ways. #CultivatedMeat can help combat that. Learn how Freethink toured UPSIDE Foods’ pilot facility and learned about the process of developing their cultivated chicken. The cultivated meat space is poised to make a powerful impact in the market as industry advancements, evolving technology, and innovative products pave the way for a sustainable future in food production. https://lnkd.in/eUP9CxkU

“This Is What Will Happen to Farmers When Cultivated Meat Arrives” - with Cultivated Meat Expert, Leo Groenewegen 👉 https://lnkd.in/eVcmNsrS Cultivated meat is called the next great revolution of our food industry. And part of that revolution means replacing farming as we know it. But then… what will happen to the farmers? In this short, Leo Groenewegen answers the reality that the changes in the food industry will also affect the first line of our supply chain. However, he shows us that what might be a crisis can become an opportunity where tradition and innovation meet together for a better food industry. All of this in only 10 minutes! In the end, our history shows us that we experience many changes, but humans always find a way to make the most of it. Food must not be a problem but a solution. ____ P.S.: If you want to learn more about the opportunities and challenges of cultivated meat, listen to our full episode with Leo!

The cultural construction of cellular agriculture food: through the lens of the whole-parts framework for meat Cultured meat requires a complete bottom-up process in producing objects, indicating that the concept of cultured meat is not necessarily aligned with the concept of existing meat, as previously suggested from the perspective of producing conventional meat. In this perspective, we proceed to further investigation the meaning of meat in cultural constructions, wherein the relationship […] The post The cultural construction of cellular agriculture food: through the lens of the whole-parts framework for meat appeared first on Cultivated Meat News . => https://lnkd.in/eV_e3Z3G #CultivatedMeat #News #CulturedMeat #Altproteins #Food #FutureOfFood

A Deep Dive into the Role of 3D Scaffolds as the Building Blocks for Cultivated Meat In addition to scaling and cost hurdles, cultivated meat production faces the unique challenge of developing final products that meet the consumer’s expectations of conventional animal-based meat, including larger pieces akin to whole cuts. However, most prototypes are made from ground meat and do not look exactly like whole cuts. Why is this the case?

The fight against cultivated meat feels like another front in the culture wars, turning dinner plates into political battlegrounds. Instead of focusing on what's best for consumers and the environment, some politicians are trying to score points by clinging to outdated ideas. Cultivated meat offers a chance to revolutionize the meat industry, reducing its environmental footprint and potentially offering new and improved meat options. Blocking this innovation because it disrupts the status quo is shortsighted. We should be embracing new technologies that can help us feed the world more sustainably, not shutting them down out of fear of change. Read on Heatmap News about the proposed ban on cultivated meat in the free state of Florida, USA.

Top stories in Cultivated Meat – August 2024 August 2024 was a fairly quiet month in the cultured meat sector, but we did get some interesting news. The Cell Base has an interesting article on recent advances in bioreactor technology. Meanwhile, new initiatives like those by Meatosys and Respect Farms in the Netherlands and Germany have introduced technology enabling farmers to produce cultivated […] The post Top stories in Cultivated Meat – August 2024 appeared first on Cultivated Meat News . => https://lnkd.in/eXYmDF3t #CultivatedMeat #News #CulturedMeat #Altproteins #Food #FutureOfFood

Cell-based mouse meat reaches price parity with premium pet food 🐈https://lnkd.in/gJxxaD4W "According to a report at Green Queen, BioCraft (formerly called Because Animals) said its cultivated meat now has a sale price of $2 to $2.50 per pound, on par with premium meat in pet food." In our 2019 Food and Agriculture report, we predicted "The pet food market is likely to be the first where cell-based meats are widely used and, because of its size, it will take material profits away from the animal-derived meat industry, thereby accelerating the wider disruption." (Box 9, page 31). 🚀 Read the full report for an in-depth understanding of the coming food & agriculture disruption by modern food technologies: https://lnkd.in/ggkB-Fjz
