Cultured Meat

Cultured meat, also known as lab-grown or cell-based meat, is produced by culturing animal cells in a controlled environment rather than raising and slaughtering animals. Scientists take a small sample of muscle cells from an animal, which are then placed in a nutrient-rich solution that encourages them to grow and multiply. This process creates real muscle tissue that can be harvested and processed into food products. Cultured meat aims to provide a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional meat, potentially reducing the environmental impact of livestock farming while addressing animal welfare concerns.
