背景：肉类消费对环境的影响需要立即采取行动。养殖肉类是通过体外培养肉类的技术出现的，它提供了一种可持续生产肉类的替代方法，而不需要个人成为素食主义者，因此具有抵消畜牧业负担的令人兴奋的潜力。然而，消费者对养殖肉类的接受可能会受到公众负面看法的挑战。范围和方法：在这篇综述中，我们断言，学术界可以通过理解和向公众传播养殖肉类的科学来发挥至关重要的作用。我们讨论了养殖肉类的科学和技术与行为科学之间的交叉将如何对克服公众认知中的挑战，并最终实现养殖肉类的环境效益至关重要。我们确定了学术部门的研究和推广重点，以及可能采取的政策行动，以实现养殖肉类对地球健康的最大好处。
Background: The environmental impact of meat consumption requires immediate action. Cultured meat-which is emerging through technologies to grow meat ex vivo-has exciting potential to offset the burden of livestock agriculture by providing an alternative method to sustainably produce meat without requiring individuals to become vegetarian. However, consumer uptake of cultured meat may be challenged by negative public perceptions.Scope and approach: In this Review, we assert that the academic sector can play a vital role by understanding and communicating the science of cultured meat to the public. We discuss how crosstalk between the science and technology of cultured meat and the behavioral sciences will be critical to overcome challenges in public perceptions, and ultimately to realize the environmental benefits of cultured meat. We identify research and outreach priorities for the academic sector as well as potential policy actions to achieve the maximum benefits of cultured meat for planetary health.
