ResumenLos modelos tradicionales de producción animal suponen un gran costo ambiental y económico. También existen consideraciones éticas alrededor del bienestar animal con base en ciertos esquemas productivos. Estos aspectos, junto al hecho del incremento esperado en la demanda de proteína animal, paralelo al crecimiento poblacional para 2050, obligan a la industria cárnica y al sector agropecuario a buscar técnicas alternativas de producción animal. La carne cultivada parece ser una opción viable y plausible para resolver muchos de estos retos. El artículo aborda el tema de la ingeniería de tejidos, enfocado en las ventajas y desventajas de la producción in vitro, como una posible línea de investigación futura para paliar el hambre y la inseguridad alimentaria de forma ambientalmente sostenible.Palabras clave: células madre, carne, ingeniería de tejidos, seguridad alimentaria. Advantages and disadvantages of in vitro meat production:Food safety perspectives AbstractThe traditional models of animal production imply a great environmental and economic cost. There are also ethical considerations around animal welfare based on certain production schemes. These aspects, together with an expected increase in the demand for animal protein, parallel to population growth by 2050, have forced the meat industry and the agricultural sector to look for alternative techniques of animal production. Cultured meat seems to be a viable and plausible option to solve many of these challenges. The article addresses the issue of tissue engineering, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of in vitro production, as a possible line for future research, to alleviate hunger and food insecurity in an environmentally sustainable manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
