{"product_id":"the-future-of-meat-without-animals-9781783489053","title":"The Future of Meat Without Animals","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant-based and cell-cultured meat, milk, and egg producers aim to replace industrial food production with animal-free fare that tastes better, costs less, and requires a fraction of the energy inputs. These products are no longer relegated to niche markets for ethical vegetarians, but are heavily funded by private investors betting on meat without animals as mass-market, environmentally feasible alternatives that can be scaled for a growing global population.  This volume examines conceptual and cultural opportunities, entanglements, and pitfalls in moving global meat, egg, and dairy consumption toward these animal-free options. Beyond surface tensions of “meatless meat” and “animal-free flesh,” deeper conflicts proliferate around naturalized accounts of human identity and meat consumption, as well as the linkage of protein with colonial power and gender oppression. What visions and technologies can disrupt modern agriculture? What economic and marketing channels are required to scale these products? What beings and ecosystems remain implicated in a livestock-free food system?   A future of meat without animals invites adjustments on the plate, but it also inspires renewed habits of mind as well as life-affirming innovations capable of nourishing the contours of our future selves. This book illuminates material and philosophical complexities that will shape the character of our future\/s of food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre we on the edge of a future without meat from animals?  For the past 45 years, I've been waiting for that future.  It's not here yet, but this collection of diverse essays gives reason to hope that - despite the major obstacles still standing in the way - it is not far away.  -- Peter Singer, author of Animal Liberation\u003cbr\u003eThe Future of Meat Without Animals raises vital questions at a moment poised between a harmful and unsustainable industrial animal agriculture and growing interest in plant-based and cultured alternatives to meat, milk, eggs, and cheese. It provides consumers, activists, and scholars with critical resources and innovative ways of thinking about animals, agriculture, meat, and meaning while calling for the essential deindustrialization of our multispecies relationships. -- Brett Mizelle, Professor of History, California State University, Long Beach\u003cbr\u003eHow did we end up in this mess? What changes are needed to combat the looming threat of ecocide, induced by animal agriculture? And what are the challenges and potential downfalls that might accompany attempts to implement these changes? These are the questions that a diverse array of independent scholars, animal advocacy workers, CEOs and employees of plant-based and cellular-cultured food companies, and academics ask and attempt to answer in The Future of Meat without Animals. […] This book is one that both academics from various disciplines and food producers will appreciate; it offers something of value for everyone who hopes for a future without animal exploitation and agriculture-induced environmental devastation. * Environmental Ethics, Vol. 39, no. 3, 2017 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables \/ Introduction, Brianne Donaldson \/ Part I: Our Past Cannot Meat the Future \/ Beyond Meat, Ethan Brown \/ 1. \tTowards 2050: The Projected Costs and Possible Alternatives to Industrial Livestock Production, Brian G.
