Let carnivores decide whether to eat lab-grown meat
- A 3.5-ounce patty, formed from approximately 20,000 muscle fibers stored in separate vials, was cooked before an audience in London.
- This event highlights the cultivated meat sector, where global demand is expected to rise by more than 50% by 2050, driving innovation.
- Upside, one of over 170 cultivated meat and seafood startups, has sold its meat in a San Francisco restaurant catering to the rich and curious, while the sector has raised $3.1 billion in the past decade.
- Cultivated meat is projected to meet just half a percentage point of global demand by 2030, but conservative forecasts suggest it could reduce land use for beef production by 10-fold and carbon emissions by 12-fold.
- Despite manufacturing innovations and the potential to mitigate the undeniable climate risks posed by livestock, as exemplified by a single California cattle ranch emitting as much methane annually as 165,000 cars, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi have banned lab-grown meat, purportedly to protect cattle ranchers and farmers, while reaching price parity with conventional meat remains a challenge.
