By 2050 the number of people on the planet will increase from 7.7 billion to 9.9 billion. With this increase in the population the demand for meat will increase by 70%, but there are not enough resources to produce all that meat. With this in mind, lab meat could be a possible solution to this problem. So, what is lab meat and can it change our future? 1. How can lab meat change our future? It can help reduce global warming impacts by 17, 52, and from 85 to 92% compared to conventional chicken, pork, and beef productions. 2. Regulation At the moment, Singapore is the only place where you can eat lab meat. Lab meat is expected to come to supermarkets in Europe between 2022 and 2024. The regulation process include: application, risk assessment, approvement, and selling of products. 3. How is lab meat made? First, you take stem cells from the animal. Then, the stem cells are fed with growth serum and left to grow on a bioreactor. Finally, the muscle fibers are processed into final meat products 4. Cost of lab meat The cost of the first lab burger was 325000 dollars in 2013. By 2032 the cost could drop to only 1 dollar and 15 cents per burger.
