Part 2/9:
By taking a few cells from a chicken and cultivating them in a bioreactor, it becomes possible to produce edible chicken meat that is chemically and texturally identical to traditionally farmed chicken. This innovation not only aims to reduce animal suffering but also seeks to address the environmental and ethical concerns associated with conventional poultry farming.
The Science Behind Cellular Meat
Bioreactors are sealed containers that provide the ideal environment for muscle cells to grow and multiply, simulating the natural development process within an animal's body. The process focuses solely on cultivating the edible parts—like chicken breast—without the need to rear or slaughter entire animals.
