New Food Order: What is the role of biotech in an ethical food system?
Cultivated meat—also called cultured meat, cell-based or lab-grown meat—is a bourgeoning industry. Billions in investment dollars are being spent now, and the McKinsey Institute estimates making cultivated meat will become a $25 billion global industry by 2030.
Regardless of what it is called, biotechnology and cellular agriculture is impacting the food system in ways never seen before. Be it a lab-grown steak, chicken nuggets or shrimp dumplings.
