In Vitro Meat's Potential
- Lab-grown meat aims to address rising global meat demand and environmental concerns.
- It offers a potentially more efficient protein source.
In Vitro Meat Production
- In vitro meat production involves growing animal muscle cells in a controlled environment.
- This process requires nutrients, hormones, and a sterile environment, but is much more efficient than traditional animal raising and does not produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
