E se potessimo mangiare le crocchette di pollo senza fare del male ai polli? "È possibile, grazie all'agricoltura cellulare", afferma Isha Datar. In questo intervento su questa tecnologia all'avanguardia, la Datar spiega come questo nuovo mezzo di produzione alimentare permetta di mangiare carne evitando le conseguenze negative dell'allevamento industriale -- e come potrebbe cambiare radicalmente in meglio i nostri sistemi alimentari. "È un'occasione unica nella vita avere una seconda opportunità di agricoltura", dice.

"Lab to Table: Can meat grown in a laboratory help save the planet? And if it can, what's standing in our way?"

If companies have made all these prototypes, why can’t we buy cultured meat at the grocery store yet? It all comes down to scale. Kate Aronoff explains why we need public investment in cellular agriculture to take this technology to the next level.

Bistro in Vitro Cookbook

A fictional cookbook of cultured meat recipes, with dishes like "celebrity meat cubes" and "knitted steak." Cultured meat is about so much more than recreating the foods (and world!) we have today. The book quite literally illustrates how cellular agriculture can unlock new culinary possibilities and allow us to create foods we never could have dreamed of before.
