Como decíamos: el impacto ambiental de la carne cultivada en laboratorio🧫es entre 10 y 1000 veces superior al de la carne real, según este nuevo estudio. ¿Podemos decir ya que la carne de laboratorio no es solución y es más un bulo ideológico/comercial? pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Environmental Impacts of Cultured Meat: A Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle Assessment Interest in animal cell-based meat (ACBM) as an environmentally conscious replacement for livestock production has been increasing; however, a life cycle assessment (LCA) for the existing production methods of ACBM has not been conducted. Currently, ACBM products are being produced at a small scale, but ACBM companies are intending to scale-up production. Updated findings from recent technoeconomic assessments (TEAs) of ACBM were utilized to perform an LCA of near-term ACBM production. A scenario analysis was conducted utilizing the metabolic requirements examined in the TEAs of ACBM, and a purification factor was utilized to account for growth medium component processing. The results indicate that the environmental impact of near-term ACBM production has the potential to be significantly higher than beef if a highly refined growth medium is utilized for ACBM production. This study highlights the need to develop a sustainable animal cell growth medium that is optimized for high-density animal cell proliferation for ACBM to generate positive economic and environmental benefits. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsfoodscitech.4c00281#
