At 7.1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, livestock contributes 14.5 percent of global carbon emissions. Cattle grown for meat and milk accounts for as much as 65 percent of livestock emissions, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. In contrast, cultivated meat has the potential to deliver this food source at a fraction of the resources used by livestock farming while also drastically reducing emissions.
The principle has been successfully deployed in the biopharmaceutical industry to produce life-saving drugs and even vaccines that protect from infections from diseases. Companies engaged in cultivating meat have been working diligently to ensure that the final product looks like animal meat and tastes like one. The other major challenge in making cultivated meat more alluring to the public at large is aU.S.-based Good Meat plans to set up the world's largest facility for cultivated meat production to make its products pocket-friendly. To do so, it has roped in ABEC Inc., another U.S.
The company claims that the process will be completed within three months, after which the bioreactor installation can begin. The facility will be operational starting in 2024 and will produce 11,800 tonnes of meat a year by 2026. By the end of the decade, this number is expected to reach 13,700 tonnes, The Guardian reported. Good Meat currently does not have the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell this meat in U.S.
Currently, Good Meat is the only company to have FDA approval to sell its cultivated meat commercially in the world. Stay ahead with the latest science, technology and innovation news, for free:
