mothernaturenetwork: Petri dish to dinner plate, in-vitro meat coming soon‘Cultured meat’ could be the answer that feeds the world, saves the environment and spares the lives of millions of animals, scientists say. Conventional meat production is notoriously inefficient. For every 15 grams of edible meat, you need to feed the animals on around 100 grams of vegetable protein, an increasingly unsustainable equation.
