Cultured Meat
Cultured meat, also known as lab-grown meat or cell-based meat, is produced by cultivating animal cells in a controlled environment, rather than raising and slaughtering animals. This innovative process involves taking a small sample of animal cells and then growing them in a nutrient-rich culture medium, allowing the cells to multiply and form muscle tissue.
The primary goal of cultured meat is to provide a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional meat production. It aims to reduce the environmental impact associated with livestock farming, such as greenhouse gas emissions and land use, while also addressing animal welfare concerns.
