Talking points on the cultural politics of cultured meat

Code: 9781801469364
Neil Stephens, University of Birmingham, UK; and Alexandra Sexton, University of Sheffield, UK

Chapter synopsis:

Cultured meat is a technology that seeks to change the world for the better, by making meat products with a much lower burden on the environment, our health, and animals, compared to conventional meat production. However, any intervention that may cause significant changes to our planet and societies requires thoughtful debate and consideration of how this might happen, what negative impacts there may be, and what uncertainties or ambiguities are being faced. In this chapter we raise a number of talking points about the cultural politics of cultured meat, to focus attention on the variety of issues requiring attention. In particular, we raise discussion points around the public life of cultured meat, the economic life of cultured meat, the political life of cultured meat, and cultured meat and social change. Our aim is not provide clear cut answers or predictions, but to open themes for ongoing reflection.
