Lab-Grown Meat explores the innovative field of cellular agriculture and its potential to revolutionize food systems.
This book highlights how cultured meat, grown directly from animal cells, could address pressing environmental and ethical concerns linked to traditional animal agriculture.
It examines the science behind cell culture, including cell sourcing and bioreactor design, while also assessing the environmental impacts of current food production methods, such as deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions.
The book progresses from the fundamentals of cell culture to a comparative analysis of environmental impacts, offering a balanced assessment of cultured meat's potential and challenges.
Readers will gain insights into the regulatory landscape, including food safety standards and labeling accuracy, as well as the broader economic and social consequences of adopting this technology.
The text argues that while cultured meat offers a sustainable solution to meet growing global demand, overcoming technological, economic, and regulatory obstacles is crucial for its success.
