Abstract

Cultured meat produced by biotechnologies such as in vitro cell culture technique is a bran-new production models in the field of meat production. The promotion of artificial meat technology will help to alleviate the contradiction between the growing nutritional needs of human beings and the deteriorating ecological environment, and have a significant impact on the development of traditional livestock industry. Focusing on ecological value, economic, social and risk evaluation, this paper summarizes the ecological and economic impact of cultured meat technology, and puts forward the possible research directions in the future which could help to enlighten the development pattern of animal husbandry in China.
