cultured tissue could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from food production by as much as 96 per cent.
The process would use up to 45 per cent less energy than conventional meat, only one per cent of the land and a tiny fraction of the water required, according to a study to be published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
#Meat production is responsible for about 18 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions – more than the airline industry and the world’s cars combined – and takes up almost a third of land outside of icebound areas.
