Future of Food: Lab-Grown Meat and Precision Fermentation
[]
Neo Science Hub
From Bioreactors to Dinner PlatesCultivated meat production represents tissue engineering’s most ambitious application to date.
Precision fermentation, meanwhile, leverages a more established biotechnology platform.
Life cycle assessments of cultivated meat production powered by renewable energy indicate potential greenhouse gas reductions of 78-96%, land use reductions of 99%, and water savings of 82-96% compared to conventional meat.
Recent peer-reviewed studies of precision fermentation dairy proteins report 72% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, 81% reductions in water consumption, and virtually no arable land requirement.
FSSAI has already granted pre-market approval to three precision fermentation ingredients: Perfect Day’s non-animal whey protein, ACME’s mycoprotein, and Reliance’s algal biomass protein.
