Cellular Agriculture: Technology, Society, Sustainability and Science
provides a state-of-the-art review of cellular agriculture
technologies. From cell selection to scaffolding and everything
in-between, this book contains chapters authored by leading cellular
agriculture researchers and product developers across the world.Driven
by consumer desire for sustainable food production, animal welfare
improvements, and better human health, companies around the world are
racing to engineer alternative protein products with the best flavour,
appearance, and texture. A major challenge many of these early-stage
companies struggle with is having the foundational science and
technical knowledge to start their journey in this emerging industry.
This text provides detailed information on the current state of the
science and technology of cellular agriculture. It combines the social
aspects that need to be considered to create a level playing field to
give each emerging idea the best chance at realizing the ultimate
vision of cellular agriculture: satisfying the demand for protein
around the world in a way that is better for humans, animals, and the
planet.This is the first resource of its kind to take a practical
approach to review the design, feasibility, and implementation of
cellular agriculture techniques. With additional chapters on life cycle
analyses and ideal transition scenarios, this book provides a resource
for aspiring technology developers and academics alike, seeking
evidence-based assessments of the industry and its disruptive
potential.
Written by industry and academic experts for balanced perspective
Presents foundational information with practical application insights
Includes chapters on regulatory and policy issues
Reviews the sustainability challenges of alternative proteins
