The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs just unveiled its official Five-Year Agricultural Plan, which includes farmed meat for the first time.

The research discusses how innovation in "border and cross-disciplinary technologies," which include farmed meat, should be promoted.

According to GFI APAC, this indicates that Chinese officials feel farmed meat production is in the national interest, making it very probable that the government will increase investment in the sector.&nbsp;

The Chinese government has already taken steps in the direction of lab - grown meat, announcing in June a three-year government-funded initiative named "High-efficiency biological manufacturing technology of artificial meat."

Several alternative protein research teams have received funding from China's National Natural Science Foundation, and the China Meat Food Research Center and Beijing Academy of Food Sciences are working on technologies to 3D print cultured meat.

Meanwhile, China's Ministry of Science and Technology has developed a programme dubbed "Green Biological Manufacturing" to fund sustainability-focused research initiatives, including a number of plant-based and cultured meat-related ventures.&nbsp;

Many Chinese enterprises are working on cultured meat, in addition to government-funded research initiatives.

HEROTEIN, a Shanghai-based alternative meat company, is collaborating with Mission Barns, a cultivated fat producer based in the United States, to bring hybrid cultivated and plant-based meats to market.

According to research, Chinese customers are significantly more accepting of cultured meat than Western consumers, with a recent survey suggesting that 90% of Chinese consumers would eat it.&nbsp;

'Lab-grown meat': China’s 5-year agricultural plan with ‘future foods’

Diners in Israel's central town of Ness Ziona are eating lab-grown "meat" that scientists claim is an environmentally friendly solution to feed the world's rising population.

A restaurant in Tel Aviv sells chicken grown in a lab. This restaurant is a type of SuperMeat testing ground that hosts regular test meals and generates customer feedback while awaiting regulatory approval.

The aptly titled "The Chicken" serves burgers in an unusual setting: across the fine dining room, on the ground floor of a modest building in Ness Ziona, central Israel.

The laboratory, where experts are busy behind big stainless steel vats, can be seen through the restaurant's bay windows in the gloomy light.

“This is the first time in the world that you can taste laboratory-grown meat while observing the production process in front of you,” enthuses Ido Savir, director of SuperMeat. &nbsp;

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, global meat output is expected to increase by 15% by 2027.

SuperMeat isn't the first company to come up with this idea.

Restaurants in Singapore made history in December when they became the first to sell laboratory-grown chicken.

Singapore is the first country to approve the sale of cultured meat. Demand for sustainable meat alternatives is rising. This is due to growing concerns about the environment &amp; animal welfare. 
 
By 2050, meat consumption is expected to rise by more than 70%, and these meat alternatives will play a critical role in ensuring food security.&nbsp;
