Incredible invention: 3D-printed meat

The importance of replacing meant on our plates is becoming more and more accepted. An important development, as the meat industry is currently environmentally unfriendly, requiring a lot of resources and emitting a lot of greenhouse gases.

To reduce the negative environmental impact of meat and mitigate climatechange, many strategies have been proposed, such as

- changing our diet,

- reducing food waste,

- improving technologies, and

- developing innovative products such as 3D printed meat. 3D printing involves making three dimensional objects based on a digital file by putting layer over layer.


The result is astonishing and not always distinguishable from real meat. In Singapore, you can already order it an a restaurant! Learn more how 3D printing meat works:
