Sinopse
Meat Alternatives explores the burgeoning field of plant-based and synthetic meats, offering a comprehensive look at their potential to transform our food systems and lessen the environmental impact of traditional animal agriculture. The book investigates the science behind alternative protein sources, their environmental consequences, and how consumers are reacting to these new food options. Did you know that conventional meat production significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution? This book argues that meat alternatives could provide a more sustainable and ethical path forward, though not without challenges. The book uniquely balances the potential benefits and challenges of meat alternatives. It begins by differentiating between plant-based and cell-based (synthetic) meats. It then compares their environmental footprints—greenhouse gas emissions, land use, and water consumption—to those of conventional meats like beef and pork. Later chapters delve into consumer attitudes, market trends, and the regulatory landscape. Ultimately, Meat Alternatives concludes with a discussion on future innovations and the potential to reshape the global food system.
