lab-grown meat

Petri dish protein

Lab-grown meat is animal flesh produced by cultivating cells in a laboratory rather than slaughtering livestock.

Also called cultured meat or cell-based meat.

The technology aims to produce real meat without the environmental and ethical costs of traditional animal farming: Lab-grown meat could reduce agricultural emissions.

Still largely experimental and not yet widely available.
