Meat substitutes are becoming increasingly popular in Germany and could be an alternative. In a study entitled "Meat of the Future", the ⁠UBA⁠ has now examined the effects of the three emerging meat alternatives - plant-based meat substitutes, edible insects and invitro meat - on the environment and health, and what role they could play in the diet of the future. According to the study, plant-based meat substitutes score best from an environmental perspective. Compared to beef, its production generates more than 90% less greenhouse gases and uses many times less water and land. Insect-based meat substitutes fare somewhat worse. The environmental and health impacts of in-vitro meat are difficult to assess so far. More research is needed here to really be able to produce a "clean meat" for the mass market.1 Online-Ressource (115 Seiten, 7,82 MB) : Illustrationen, Diagrammeenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/vitro meatplant-based meat substitutesedible insectsTrendsForesight664Focus on the future: meat of the future : trend report for assessing the environmental impacts of plant-based meat substitutes, edible insects and in vitro meat : trend report for assessing the environmental impacts of plant-based meat substitutes, edible insects and in vitro meat / publisher: German Environment Agency, Section I 1.1 ; authors: Tobias Jetzke, Stephan Richter (Institute for Innovation and Technology [iit], part of VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH, Berlin), Benno Keppner, Lena Domröse (adelphi research gGmbH, Berlin), Stephanie Wunder (Ecologic Institut gGmbH, Berlin), Arianna Ferrari (Futurium gGmbH, Berlin) ; editors: Sylvia Veenhoff, section I 1.1, Fundamental Aspects, Sustainability Strategies and Scenarios, Sustainable Resource Use DesignBook
