This issue gathers the ideas and opinions of a number of scientists and other experts around the topic of in vitro meat. The authors in this publication range from being in vitro meat’s developers and most vocal supporters, to some adamant opposers. Collectively, these essays present a diversity of perspectives, and illustrate the challenge of pinning down an emerging technology. So, what is in vitro meat? The basic idea is to encourage muscle cells to grow into a foodstuff and produce meat in a way totally unlike how it is done on farms. Although not currently possible, some scientists are researching how to create a cultured meat that can be produced in factories, expanding small quantities of muscle tissue into much bigger amounts. But the question ‘what is in vitro meat’ is so much broader than that. What could in vitro meat be? How could it be made? How could it fit into our daily lives? In this publication, a range of experts offer their answer to the question: What is in vitro meat?
