Like a hamburger that weighs a little over 140 grams, can it cost 385 thousand US dollars? Maybe if it was created in artificial conditions from stem cells. According to the British newspaper Telegraph, Dutch burger cutlet cells grown scientists. And on August 5, her presentation is scheduled in London, in during which the hamburger must be fried and eaten. Cutlet literally gathered from the three thousand thinnest strips of beef, grown in artificial conditions. Each of these stripes was no more than a grain of rice. According to scientists, they succeeded complete an experiment that could possibly result in the next 10 years, artificially grown meat will appear on the shelves supermarkets. Scientists hope that their development will pick up colleagues around the world, and will be grown not only beef, but also pork, lamb and chicken. Physiologist Mark Post of University of Maastricht, whose brainchild is a cutlet from test tubes, said: “If we talk about raising livestock for meat, then currently we use 70% of our agricultural of opportunities. Need to look for alternatives. If we are nothing take it, the meat will become a delicacy and will be very expensive. ” man-made meat will be different. According to the professor Fasting, for its production you will need much less animals: some limited number of cattle will be slaughtered, but only to for animals to take stem cells. Scientist Concerns About rise in price of meat is not unfounded. According to experts, by 2050 the world’s population will consume twice as much product than now. This is the United Nations data on Food and Agriculture Organization). For example, every Briton eats a year about 85 kilograms of meat is about 33 chicken, one a pig, three quarters of mutton carcass and a fifth of cow. By According to Professor Post, meat production laboratory conditions will reduce by 99% the area needed for cultivation cattle. Water savings range from 82 to 96% and greenhouse emissions gases, by contrast, will be reduced by 78-95%. Therefore synthetic meat will be cheaper, and of course its retail price is not Compared with the cost of the first prototype. However, in the British Food Standards Agency said that artificially grown meat will have to undergo procedures, confirming its safety, and only after that can go on sale.
