Meat Planet explores the science, ethics, and potential societal impacts of cultured meat (lab-grown, clean, or cell-based meat). Benjamin Wurgaft examines the promises and perils of creating meat without animals, from Silicon Valley startups to academic labs. Will this innovation revolutionize our food system and address concerns about sustainability, animal welfare, and public health? This book offers a nuanced and critical perspective on the future of food, challenging readers to consider the complex implications of meat no longer solely dependent on animal agriculture.
