Although methane from cows doesn\u2019t live as long in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, it is 28 times more potent in warming the atmosphere. Some cattle farmers \u2014 both dairy and beef \u2014 are looking at different feeds and even different breeds to help decrease greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s \u201calt meat,\u201d often called, cultivated meat, lab meat or even clean meat. To produce cultivated meat, a biopsy is taken from a cow and the cells are incubated in media rich in nutrients that mimics the natural body of the animals. These nutrients help the cells thrive and divide. With the use of a bioreactor and some technological aids, muscle and fat tissues are created. The end product is biologically the same as the meat that comes from an animal. Bottomline, it\u2019s real meat made from real animals. When it comes to food safety, there\u2019s no need of feedlots or slaughterhouses, where foodborne pathogens such as E. coli and salmonella can run rampant. And the cow, itself, doesn\u2019t have to be killed. In addition, the entire process is done under sterile conditions and monitored for possible contaminants the whole way through.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if this breakthrough approach to producing meat will open the door to improvements in food safety, Paul Burridge, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at Northwestern Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. \u201cAbsolutely,\u201d he said. \u201cCultivated meat by its nature is sterile. With traditional meat, there are so many potential points of contamination. The animals come from so many different places and are raised in so many different ways. During slaughter, there\u2019s the risk of organ and fecal contamination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafetynews.com\/2021\/08\/tackling-climate-change-can-boost-food-safety\/\">Food Safety News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane.
