What Are Lab-Grown Animals and How Are They Changing Food Production? Lab-grown animals, often referred to as cultured or cell-based meat, represent a transformative shift in how society produces and consumes animal products. Instead of traditional farming, this technology grows animal cells in controlled environments to create meat, dairy, and other animal-derived foods without raising or slaughtering live animals.

The result is a product that closely resembles conventional meat in taste,
