Visualized below is how cultured meat will virtually eliminate the need for animals to be farmed for food and the science behind it.
Cultured foods, often known as cell-based foods, are projected to completely transform our global food system.
According to McKinsey, the cultured meat business is expected to reach a staggering $25 billion by 2030, but only if it can overcome obstacles like price parity and customer acceptance.
For the industry to grow, major innovation in the science behind these items will be required.
Below is a visual summary of some of the technologies (pdf below) driving the creation of cultured meat products in the image below from CULT Food Science.
