Cultured meat

The first cultured burger, cooked in 2013

Cultured meat, also called cultivated meat,[1] is meat grown in cell culture instead of inside animals.[2] It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering techniques used in regenerative medicine.[3] Until now, the cost to produce cultured meat has been extremely high.[4] The first cultured burger patty, created by Dr. Mark Post at Maastricht University, was eaten in August 2013, at a demonstration for the press in London.[5]

Cultured meat is believed to be something that can help solve concerns about the environment,[6] animal welfare, food security, and human health.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
