      Organization willing to support the development of producing artificial meat
  • The technology to produce in vitro meat is almost in place, says Mironov, but "there are bottlenecks" in the process — namely scale and cost. Given the current technology, it would cost $1 million to turn out a 250g piece of beef. The problem boils down to producing a cell-culture medium in large enough quantities at a low enough price
