Change on cards for meat culture

The economic feasibility of sustainably cultured meat compared to that of traditional meat production may be the greatest challenge facing those who support the new technology, warn researchers...

In-vitro meat In-vitro meat, or cultured meat, is being developed by scientists searching for new sources of protein to feed the world. But the latest update from researchers is that meat prices will have to rise significantly before cultured meat is commercially viable.

They are working on growing muscle tissue – that is, meat – from animal stem cells, with the aid of tissue culture techniques. No actual animals are involved, and production of in-vitro meat is expected to be more efficient and more sustainable.
