The WHO recently announced that eating too much processed meat can lead to cancer, but what makes processed meat so bad for you?

The scientific progress that has made it possible to dream of a future in which faulty organs could be regrown from stem cells also holds potential as an ethical and greener source for meat.

The heavy impact on the environment of meat production was known but the research shows a new scale and scope of damage, particularly for beef. The popular red meat requires 28 times more land to produce than pork or chicken, 11 times more water and results in five times more climate-warming emissions. When compared to staples like potatoes, wheat, and rice, the impact of beef per calorie is even more extreme, requiring 160 times more land and producing 11 times more greenhouse gases.

That's the premise behind XPRIZE Feed The Next Billion, a $15 million competition incentivizing teams around the globe to produce chicken breast or fish filet alternatives that outperform conventional chicken and fish in a number of areas - from sustainability to nutrition to animal welfare, as well as taste and texture. To achieve that, teams are leaning into two methods: cultivated meat and plant-based meat alternatives. The multi-year competition is underway right now, and could provide us with the breakthrough we need to change how we eat, for good.
