Timeline of cellular agriculture

Abstract

Cellular agriculture refers to the production of conventional agricultural products via cell cultures, potentially providing numerous benefits such as reduced environmental impact and improved animal welfare. Technologies for cultured meat and seafood have undergone rapid advancement, but research is still ongoing to make them commercially viable. Cultured dairy and eggs products possess a higher technical feasibility, but challenges remain in scaling up production and maintaining product quality. The technology has attracted investment and support from non-profit organizations, governments, and private companies. Further research and development is needed to address remaining technical hurdles and reduce production costs, as well as to develop regulatory frameworks for approval and commercialization. –AI-generated abstract.
