Other forms: cultivated meats

While most meat comes from animals, cultivated meat is meat that's grown in a lab.

Cultivated meat is meat that has been grown from animal cells, similar to the processes that happen when an animal grows and develops as an embryo. Cultivated meat is produced using cells and various nutrients to create the tissues that then become meat. It is intended to use less resources than raising animals and to be better for the environment.
