  Cell cultured meat is produced by in vitro cell culture of animal cells. This concept saves the slaughtering of animals in slaughterhouses. Cell cultured meat is a form of cellular agriculture and is becoming a popular concept throughout the world. Cultured meat is produced using a variety of tissue engineering techniques that are traditionally used in regenerative medicine. This concept came into being in the early 2000s by Jason Matheny after co-authoring a seminal paper on cultured meat production. Cultured beef is the most popular variant of cell-cultured meat. Cell cultured meat is created by harvesting muscle cells from a living animal. It is a painless concept. After harvesting the cells, the scientists then feed and nurture the cells, and later on, they are multiplied further to create muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is the main component of the meat that is consumed by a majority of people today. Cell cultured meat is biologically the same as the meat tissue that comes...

Cell cultured meat is known by many names. Experts might refer to it as in vitro meat, cellular agriculture, or synthetic meat. But no matter the name, it all comes down to one thing—a more sustainable method of producing a food product that is in high demand.  How is lab-grown meat produced? Scientists take adult muscle stem cells from a live animal and add a collagen matrix. On top of that, fat cells are co-cultured with stem cells to imitate natural flavours and add texture, and tenderness. Lastly, a circulatory system is used to deliver nutrients and remove waste. The practice of growing meat in the lab was only recently adapted for commercial purposes. As the years pass by, more and more techniques are being discovered to create the best possible synthetic meat for the mass market. Want to find out the incredible benefits of having cell cultured meat ? Here are just a few of many: Lower cost Because the technology is relatively new, lab-grown meat is quite costly at first glan...

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria and ethical investing are buzzwords that continue to thrive today. As you look closely, they could get you started in sustainability and socially responsible investing. Ethical investment funds in the UK differ according to who or which organisation started them and the personal convictions of the investor. That said, when finding the right ethical investment fund, it’s essential to consider your personal needs ahead of other factors. A simple way to understand the different kinds of ethical investment funds in the UK is to view them in a spectrum: deep green to light green. Deep green encompasses funds from sectors involved in controversial sectors such as weapons, tobacco, mining fossil fuel, and gambling. Light green pertains to investments with a more ethical focus, like socially responsible companies and organisations making safe and healthy meat substitutes. It’s important to choose the best ethical investment funds in the UK t...

Whether you are a new or seasoned investor, you are likely to find more opportunities to grow your wealth and make an impact on the lives of people and our planet. That is possible with Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), which means that you will be investing in organisations that promote socially conscious and ethical themes, like gender equality, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. Also known as ‘sustainable investing’, it is the investment strategy that aims to consider both social and environmental good along with financial returns, with the goal to have a positive impact on social change. Social responsibility is more important than ever, as more companies and individuals are becoming aware of their impact on social issues. You can do your part as an investor with socially responsible investing. As a socially responsible investor, you can encourage corporate practices that are in line with your own values, which can be anything from human rights to environmental s...

With the increasing world population, it has become more and more challenging to meet the increasing food demands. The pressure of providing nutritious and sustainable food in adequate quantity to the growing population is evident, particularly in the livestock sector. The good part is that the food industry is coming up with innovations for substitution, replication, and simulation of animal protein. This innovation also aids in discovering eco-friendly sources and opportunities for plant-based nutrition. Life science investment encourages the production of modern foods using advanced food technology and at the same time, also addresses animal welfare concerns. Protein alternatives produced using modern food technology Fermentation - The modern brewing solutions are used to create animal proteins like whey and casein. This method involves the programming of yeast organisms for producing an adequate quantity of animal-based proteins. Advanced plant-based - This solution uses plant-ba...

Meat is a great source for protein, but eating it may be problematic for some people who are concerned about animal welfare. In that case, there is cell-cultured meat, which is made out of the cells from a living animal (i.e. a cow). The cells are harvested painlessly from the animal’s muscle and then fed and nurtured to multiply it and create the muscle tissue, a major aspect of the meats humans eat. The result is a meat tissue which is biologically similar to that of conventional meat, but without slaughtering the animal. A growing importance The demand for meat continues to increase over time. It is set to increase further in the next 40 years, according to a survey conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. We are currently using non-sustainable production methods to meet up the requirements. As a result, meat is likely to become pricier and considered luxury items due to the increased demand for crops for its production, unless sustainable alternatives are disco...
