Artificial meat "soon in the market!
The laboratory burger is due to arrive in the market within two years after the startup Memphis meats has made a significant step towards the marketing of synthetic meat.
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and businessman Richard Benson, and a number of senior investors, have decided to allocate $ 22 million to support Memphis meats, a San Francisco-based firm.
The company has actually produced "clean meat" - beef, chicken and ducks directly from animal cells, which do not require slaughter of animals.
The US company intends to use the funds to further develop its products and accelerate its work on increasing the production of "clean meat" and hopes that this will reduce the cost of production to levels comparable to the costs of traditional meat, and even less in the end.
The company says it hopes to bring clean meat products to consumers around the world in the next two to three years.
"Clean meat" is expected to produce a series of significant changes over the coming years in the food and environment market, in terms of low costs and the provision of necessary calories, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 90%.
