Cellular Agriculture: Technology, Society, Sustainability and Science

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.
