3D printer can make slaughter-free meat from animal cells

Attempts to reduce our impact on other species have lead to various innovations already spotted by Springwise. From vegan leather to lab-grown fish, there are always more ways to get traditional products with less animal death. Consumers are becoming increasingly motivated to avoid destructive impact on both the environment and animals. This therefore makes it worthwhile to pursue other animals, like this slaughter-free meat from an Israeli clean meat company.

Aleph Farms have dedicated themselves to creating healthier and cruelty-free meat. Their process involves taking a sample of animal cells from a real cow and reproducing them outside of the animal. This means that no actual calves are born to produce the meat, thereby eliminating the need for slaughter. Not only does this reduce animal suffering, it also lessens the environmental impact. At the moment, the cattle industry is highly environmentally-damaging. It increases harmful gas emissions, such as methane and carbon dioxide. In addition, the land used for cattle farming requires large swathes of the planet’s rain forests to be cut down, further exacerbating the greenhouse effect.

In addition, these animal cell meat products do not come into contact with the same antibiotics and bacterial contamination that are rife within conventional meat production. This means that the meat is also healthier for the human consumer.

Aleph Farms uses 3D printing technology to mimic traditional cuts of beef in both structure and texture. They can therefore aim to provide the same level of taste and quality as real meat, but with drastically fewer damaging consequences.

Takeaway: Many consumers are resistant to adopting a meat-free diet, although aware of the potential environmental ramifications, because they stick to the habit and pleasure of eating meat. Yet in creating a product that fulfils such habits but without the negative impact, Aleph Farms could have found a compelling means of changing stubborn minds. How might the meat-free industry flourish in future with such advances?
