Cultured meat—grown in a bioreactor, instead of a farm— could offer that sustainable alternative to conventional meat production. Using technologies already familiar to cell biologists around the world, this approach involves growing meat from real animal cells in a process known as cell-based agriculture. The future vision is to grow meat products such as chicken, beef, pork, or fish—commercially at a large scale in factories that resemble a brewery. Eliminating the need to breed, raise and slaughter animals for
food, cultured meat—which is also known as cultivated or cell based meat – offers a way to reduce the environmental impact of traditional meat production.
