I worry most startups in the cultured meat space are overestimating their short-term timeline to get to market and underestimating their potential long-term impact on completely redesigning our food system from the cell-level up. Regardless of the timeline, one thing is clear: we desperately need to undo the damage industrialized animal agriculture is wreaking on our communities, animals, and the planet.
A quiet revolution is taking place in labs throughout the world, where scientists are working to cultivate meat and seafood grown from cells, rather than from animals themselves.
