Robots (mechanization and automation) has been happening for a hundred years.
back in the day it took a farmer and many helpers to farm a small amount of land.
today it takes one guy and his machines, both owned and contracted, to farm a LOT of land.
but your imagination is limited.
in the future meat will be grown in a vat..
what about vegetables?
Again, what are you feeding the meat cultures in the vats?
What new waste streams are created?
When an industry is required to account for the cost of environmental externalities (like pollution) the value they add to the economy is reduced to less than zero. That means someone else pays those costs, usually people of lower economic status.
See “Environmental Accounting For Pollution in the United States Economy” by Muller, Mendelsohn, and Nordhaus.
“Nothing dies” is a questionable conclusion until the unintended consequences become evident.
I overcame my illiteracy and read the promo pieces at the links offered.
After confirming the unsustainability of current food systems, the articles offered a glowing endorsement (without facts or data) of the new technology.
Journalists...what can you say?
with just a tiny bit more effort, in your great wisdom, you could use google to find papers more appropriate to your lofty intellect.
hint: the chicken is made from vegatable matter with hemo (something) added. Blood basicly...it adds 'sizzle', which is what we want in meat.
Before this conversation degrades to outright name calling, which is what happens when facts become scarce (ad hominem attack, one of the logical fallacies), I offer this bit of info.

And the nutrient sources for vat produced meat will be what?
Technological solutions for a fee that replace natural environmental services provided without cost, are never as elegant.
And the nutrient sources for vat produced meat will be what?
Lab-grown 'clean' meat could be on sale by end of this year
Lab-Grown Meat Finally Available in Chicken Nugget Form
Lab-grown chicken strips, right now
sold in resturants already
Bistro In Vitro is the world's first lab-grown meat restaurant

Strawman...no one said it would be without cost.
The cost WILL however, be cheaper than what is being paid now.
Seems pretty elegant to me.

Literary challenged are you?
all of your questions (I read them) were answered by the links that I gave you.

Might you be referring to heme iron?
Watch this... https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-safety-of-heme-vs-non-heme-iron/
And this... http://www.synbiowatch.org/2017/08/bleeding-veggie-burger-has-no-basis-for-safety-according-to-fda/
Yes, I realize it’s a bleeding veggie burger. The point is the GMO additive.
