Artificial meat, also known as in vitro meat, cultured meat, lab meat, clean meat and also synthetic meat, is a novel food produced in laboratories using animal muscle stem cells, but does not come directly from a living animal and which proliferate in culture. The production of artificial meat is the subject of media enthusiasm to feed the growing human population. In order to solve the increasing concerns about environment (global warming) and ethic problems (animal welfare, animal suffering and slaughtering) but also the weaknesses of the conventional meat production (limited farming resources and ever increasing population), scientific research is devoted to introduce and develop on a large scale artificial meat as a new meat product in the future.
