The “cultured meat” alternative




JBS, one of the largest companies in the “meat” and derivatives sector for consumption, wants to transform the way we see the production of animal protein with its new “cultured meat” factory in the laboratory, but this technological innovation is really the future of the Food or just another empty promise.


In truth, we could one day taste juicy meat and a delicious barbecue, knowing that no animal was sacrificed to produce it, it seems like something out of science fiction, but this “reality” may be getting closer and closer and the Brazilian company JBS It is in the desire to want to make that change with the construction of the largest “cultured meat” factory in the world that is being carried out in Spain.


The company promises a new era for sustainable food, this unit operated by one of its biotech Foods arms and with the expectation of starting activities this year, is a milestone in the search for “alternatives” to traditional meat production. which is facing increasing criticism for its “environmental impact” and “ethical” issues.




With an initial production capacity of 1000 tons per year with the possibility of expanding to up to 4,000 tons, JBS wants to lead the alternative protein revolution; But it is really “cultured meat” that is the solution to the challenges we face today, while some celebrate this innovation as an “ethical and sustainable” “alternative”; others raise questions about the real environmental impact of this technology.


Studies suggest that under certain conditions laboratory “grown meat” can emit up to 25 times more greenhouse gases per kilogram than traditional meat, and the current dependence on animal blood serum for cell culture raises ethical and practical questions, putting The true sustainability of this method is in doubt, however, for many “cultured meat” remains a morally superior option to traditional livestock farming, offering a more “ethical” path.




The construction of the factory in Spain is only part of JBS's ambitious plans. In addition to this venture, the company plans to build a state-of-the-art center for research and development of biotechnology and cultured protein in Florianópolis in Brazil, with an estimated investment of 6 million dollars.


The objective of this center is to develop 100% Brazilian cutting-edge technology for the production of alternative proteins and the company is determined to lead the alternative protein market and guarantee that “cultured meat” in the laboratory is a reality accessible to consumers around the world. , there are already plans to meet the growing demand in key markets such as Australia, the European Union, Japan, Singapore, the United States and of course Brazil, but the questions that remain are will this Innovation overcome the challenges and become a solution that promises be.


And you, would you be willing to try and feed yourself with this new form of “meat”.
