Bottom line: It’s starting to feel like now, more than ever, the way we present ourselves and our opinions makes all the difference. However, clean meat uses lab-grown cells that don’t require the use of live animals and will have many benefits that include sparing the lives of tens of billions of animals per year and a much cleaner carbon footprint as the process is much more environmentally friendly.

For example, up until 2025, I think we’ll see the Foundation stage where the farmed animal movement gathers resources from philanthropy, connections to journalists, political influence, and so on.

Switching meat consumption to clean meat would mean millions of times less animal suffering than today.There has been some positive discussion from the Pope in terms of environmentalism, such as Laudato si’. Eventually, the seven principles of Animalism, known as the Seven Commandments and inscribed on the side of the barn, become reduced to a single principle reading “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

He elaborates extensively on these topics, detailing what the potential future of food innovations might be. Finally, the pigs invite humans into the farm to drink with them, and announce a new partnership between the pigs and humans. percent of earth’s land mass is now used for grazing or to grow feed crops, plus “Animals raised for food produce approximately 130 times as much excrement as the entire human population and animal farms pollute our waterways more than all other industrial sources combined.

In turn, you offer those same things in addition to food, water, shelter, and access to things your pets can’t get on their own. First, because the problem is so large, it’s important to come up with hopeful paths toward solving it.
