Osnabrück University (2022): Acceptance of cultured meat in Germany

According to a study by the University of Osnabrück on the acceptance of in vitro meat, 47% of consumers surveyed said they would eat a lab-grown burger more often instead of conventional meat.

Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, - muss der hohe Fleischkonsum vor allem in den Industrieländern reduziert werden. Dagegen ist im Globalen Süden (hier in Äthiopien) für viele Menschen der Besitz von Vieh existenzsichernd.
In order to achieve the climate targets, the high meat consumption, especially in the industrialized countries, must be reduced. In the global south (here in Ethiopia), by contrast, the ownership of farm animals provides a livelihood for many people.
