Work is afoot to build the world's largest facility to produce cultivated meat in the U.S., even as the Food and Drug Administration is yet to give its approval for public consumption of the meat in the country, The Guardian reported.
At 7.1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, livestock contributes 14.5 percent of global carbon emissions. Cattle grown for meat and milk accounts for as much as 65 percent of livestock emissions, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations states on its website.

As many as 170 companies are involved in producing this alternative meat that can put an end to slaughtering animals for food.
