How meat grown in labs could reduce our environmental impact.

That’s the vision of start-ups around the world, each trying to perfect lab-grown or cultured meat.
 
It’s a huge challenge in bioengineering to make it work at a cheap enough price. But there are big benefits for the planet if they can pull it off.
