This innovative approach mimics the cellular growth process that occurs naturally in animals, but without the ethical and environmental concerns tied to traditional meat production. Clean meat offers the same texture, taste, and nutritional value as conventional meat, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water consumption. As a sustainable and humane alternative, it holds great potential for addressing global food security and the growing demand for protein sources.

The article by Former Tindle CEO elaborates the factors contributing to the plant-based industry’s rise and fall in last few years. These include lack of sustained demand, limited consumer motivation beyond a niche segment, and targeted attacks on health claims. Looking beyond, Andre Menezes sees “an opportunity for introspection and adaptation”. Consolidation is inevitable and talent retention will be important too. #plantbased #foodsustainability #foodtech Source: Green queen
