Cultivated meat could emit 25 times more CO2e than conventional beef, finds research

Cultivated meat – whereby meat is produced from animal cells using a combination of biotechnology, tissue engineering, molecular biology and synthetic processes – is thought to be a more environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional meat production. Indeed, much food is considered more environmentally sustainable than intensively produced meat, such as…
