Addressing Global Food Security Through Cellular Agriculture

Abstract

In the face of an ever-growing global population and the escalating impacts of climate change, ensuring food security has become a critical challenge of our time. This chapter explores the transformative potential of cellular agriculture as a viable solution to address global food security. Cellular agriculture, which involves producing animal products from cell cultures rather than traditional livestock farming, offers a sustainable and efficient alternative to conventional agriculture. The chapter also examines the socio-economic implications of cellular agriculture, such as its potential to create new job opportunities, support rural economies, and contribute to food equity by making nutritious food accessible to diverse populations. Through case studies and expert insights, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview of how cellular agriculture can play a pivotal role in building a resilient, sustainable, and secure global food system for the future.
