Lab-Grown Burgers

This Engineered Ground Beef Could be the Future of How Fast Food is Made

— October 17, 2015 — Tech
The future of meat is changing thanks to the ability to now grow ground beef in a lab. Pioneers of this made-made meat include Professor Mark Post that has figured out a way to chemically grow meat which will significantly be cheaper to purchase than naturally-raise animals.

The lab-grown beef is said to use 96% less water and 99% less land than herding cattle according to a study mentioned on Eater. The process works by using cow stem sells to continue to grow muscle tissue and different parts of the animal. The engineered meat is also said to be taster and cheaper making it more cost-effect and enjoyable for foodies. In the next few years lab-grown beef could be what is found in many fast food burgers.
Trend Themes
1. Lab-grown Meat - The development of lab-grown meat has the potential to disrupt the traditional meat industry and meet the high demand for meat in a sustainable way.
2. Sustainable Food Production - Lab-grown meat is an example of a disruptive innovation that could lead to more sustainable food production and address environmental concerns related to traditional meat production.
3. Food Technology - The use of technology to create lab-grown meat is a demonstration of the potential for innovation in the food industry, particularly in terms of alternative protein sources.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Agriculture - The food and agriculture industry could be disrupted by the development of lab-grown meat as it offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional meat production methods.
2. Fast Food - The fast food industry could benefit from the use of lab-grown meat as it is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly option for meeting the high demand for meat-based menu items.
3. Biotechnology - The biotechnology industry has an opportunity to innovate and develop new methods of creating alternative protein sources like lab-grown meat through the use of cutting-edge technology.
