From the abstract: "To realize any perceivable change in various socio-economic and environmental spheres, the technology should be commercialized and should be cost-effective as conventional meat and widely accepted among consumers." (2/4)
They continue: "The new challenges of increasing demand of meat with the increasing population could be fulfilled by [cultivated meat at scale]... The adoption of in-vitro meat production at an industrial scale will lead to self-sufficiency in the developed world." (3/4)
The fact that researchers in animal science, veterinary science, meat science, food security, etc., in regions of the world where meat demand is expected to grow the fastest are coming around to this realization is quite a testament. The writing is on the wall. (end)
