    About Cell cultivated meat:
  • Cell-cultivated meat involves isolating cells that makeup chicken meat and providing them with the necessary resources to grow and multiply in a controlled environment.
  • The process takes place in a bioreactor or cultivator.
  • The cells are then processed with additives to enhance texture and appearance before being used in various recipes.
  • Lab-grown meat is being developed to address concerns related to emissions, land use, animal welfare, food security, and customization.
  • It has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use associated with traditional livestock farming.
  • It offers customization options for healthier and more sustainable alternatives.
