The market-ready meat alternative is very similar in taste and texture, but is a biotech product which &#8212; by replacing beef &#8212; involves much less land resources and greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and land-use change. This goes under the assumption of a growing world population&#8217;s increasing appetite for beefy bites, and it is the first time researchers have projected the development of these market-ready meat substitutes into the future, assessing their potential impact on the environment.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2022\/05\/220504110405.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fungi-based meat alternatives to help save Earth&#8217;s forests<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ScienceDaily&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Substituting 20 % of meat from cattle with microbial protein &#8212; a meat alternative produced in fermentation tanks &#8212; by 2050 could halve deforestation, a new analysis finds.
