Cellular Agriculture is the emerging science of producing animal products from cells instead of from live animals.[2]
Cellular Agriculture, or Cell-Ag, is actively developing foodstuffs and other animal products that include meat, milk,[3] and eggs, also leather,[4] silk and even rhinoceros horn from animal cells.
Cellular agriculture uses biotechnology to produce animal products currently harvested from living tissue.[5] Expectations are the science will evolve to create non harvested meat and animal products that will meet the demand for Animal products without harming the animals themselves.[6]
Cellular agriculture[1] sciences are evolving based on two techniques:
- Tissue Engineering (growing tissues in a laboratory)
- Fermentation (using microorganisms derive proteins).
The process is controversial as certain government ( France, Australia and most recently the state of Missouri) entities are in conflict over what can officially be termed "meat".[7]
Terminologies have emerged to describe the products though final terminology for the products are not widely accepted yet.[8]
- In-vitro meat
- lab-grown meat
- cellular agriculture
- clean meat
- cultured meat
