Dutch scientists have
used stem cells to create strips of muscle tissue with the aim of
producing the first lab-grown hamburger later this year.
The aim of the research is to develop a more efficient way of producing meat than rearing animals.
At a major science meeting in Canada, Prof Mark Post said
synthetic meat could reduce the environmental footprint of meat by up to
60%.
"We would gain a tremendous amount in terms of resources," he said.
