What if your next chicken burger never came from a chicken? Cultivated meat, also called lab-grown meat, is made by growing animal cells in controlled environments instead of raising and slaughtering animals. But can this futuristic food actually become a mass-market business? In this Spotlight edition, Daniela Laurel explains how cultivated meat is made, from animal cells and growth media to bioreactors, muscle, fat and scaffolds. We examine why production remains expensive, whether cultivated meat can match conventional meat on taste and texture, and what its environmental and health claims really mean. We also look at consumer acceptance, regulation and India's ambitions in the emerging bioeconomy. --- 00:01 - Introduction 01:00 - Changing Face of 'Meat' 02:00 - Science of Cultivated Meat 05:20 - Is Lab-Grown Meat Sustainable? 09:00 - Can India Take the Lead? 09:50 - Expert Analysis --- Lab Grown Meat | Artificial Meat | Artificial Chicken | Vegetarianism | Spo
