In just a few years time it may be possible to bite into a juicy, meaty burger – made from real beef – without a single animal killed in the making of it. This might sound like outlandish science fiction but it is, in reality, science fact.

The question is whether we can stomach the idea of it enough to scale up the processcommonplace. Supporters say we need to be able to – or find other solutions – because our planet can’t sustain the projected demand for meat in the way it’s currently produced.
