The contribution of artificial meat in reducing carbon emission and mitigating climate change
The consumption of conventional livestock meat contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. As an alternative, artificial meat, or cultured meat, has emerged as a potential solution to reduce the environmental impact of meat production. In this paper, contribut...

| description | The consumption of conventional livestock meat contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. As an alternative, artificial meat, or cultured meat, has emerged as a potential solution to reduce the environmental impact of meat production. In this paper, contribution of artificial meat in reducing carbon emission and mitigating climate change is analyzed. Comparison of the impact on carbon emission between artificial meat and conventional lifestock production system is conducted. The results indicated that artificial meat has advantage over natural meat. In terms of life cycle assessment in cultured meat, current LCA lack some practical data in commercial-scale, and the factor about transportation, usage, retail, and waste disposal should be included in the future assessment, which will give a more comprehensive and accurate assessment in whole life cycle of artificial meat production. In conclusion, while artificial meat holds promise for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change, more research and development are needed to realize its full potential and address the associated challenges. |
