Scientists are raising meat without animals. Instead of animal farms, companies like Aleph Farms and Mirai Foods use cells to grow steaks. A lifecycle study for cultivated beef found that producing meat in bioreactors with renewable energy could cut greenhouse‑gas emissions by 92 percent and land use by 90 percent compared with intensive cattle farming. Mirai Foods has even grown a tenderloin steak in just five days using its Fibration Technology. These breakthroughs aim to reduce the environmental toll of meat while meeting rising demand.
