Abstract

This paper provides a brief overview of the novel Meat Factory Cell and discusses its concept in the context of increasing sustainability in the meat sector. Job quality, environment, health risks, industrial development and education are discussed as sustainability goals that can be mapped against some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
