No Animals Harmed: Would You Eat Steaks and Schnitzel Grown in a Petri Dish
Still, production of in-vitro meat is complex and possible in small amounts only. “In future, however, in-vitro meat might help solve problems caused by meat consumption in view of growing global population, climate change, and animal protection,” Inge Böhm of KIT’s Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) says. “When culturing animal muscle stem cells, it might no longer be necessary to grow animals with a high resource expenditure and to kill them afterwards,” the humanities scholar adds.
KIT researchers studied whether steaks and schnitzels from the petri dish may soon revolutionize our meat production.
Using interviews and participative methods (focus groups, citizens’ jury), ITAS scientists have now studied acceptance of animal muscle cells from the petri dish as a meat substitute. They asked experts from science and food service industry as well as representatives of environmental and animal rights organizations, organic and conventional farmers associations. Also citizens were given the opportunity to participate.
According to the study, most of the persons interviewed consider in-vitro meat one of many alternatives to conventional meat production. At the same time, in-vitro meat encounters resistance of those who think that future food supply has to be associated with reduced meat consumption and an ecological reorganization of agriculture. Arguments against in-vitro meat are the already mentioned alienation between man and animal and the risk of a monopolization in in-vitro meat production.
“The large majority of the society would like politics to develop strategies to reduce meat consumption, to push sustainable reorganization of agriculture, and to support research into and development of plant-based alternatives,” Böhm says.
