Could growing meat in labs reduce global warming?



A developmental biologist and tissue engineer at the Medical University of South Carolina has been working to grow meat in his lab for over ten years. He is among one of the few scientists in the world involved in bioengineering cultured meat. Developing cultured meat would significantly reduce the amount of livestock-based food production thus reducing greenhouse gases (20% of human caused CO2 comes from raising livestock.)
