Current Trends and Future Opportunities for Artificial Meat Industry

Cultured meat is meat made by in vitro cell culture of animal cells instead of slaughtered animals. It's a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is made using many of the same tissue engineering techniques traditionally used in regenerative medicine. The concept of cultured meat was popularized by Jason Matheny in the early 2000s after co-authoring a landmark paper on cultured meat production and founding New Harvest, the world's first nonprofit dedicated to supporting in vitro Dedicated to meat research.

In 2013, Mark Post, a professor at Maastricht University, was the first to present a proof-of-concept for cultured meat by making the first burger patty grown directly from cells. Since then, several prototypes of cultured meat have attracted media attention: the first restaurant to serve cultured meat is located in Israel.

The production process still leaves a lot of room for improvement, but has evolved among different companies. Its uses result in it having several prospective moral, health, environmental, cultural, and economic considerations when compared to conventional meat.
