For the first time, a food technology company has created meat in space and what is more amusing is that they did it without harming any animal. Aleph Farms, which is an Israeli food company, has made “space beef” in the International Space Station (ISS), 248 miles (339 kilometres) away from any natural resources. AdvertisingThe company works on growing cultivated beef steaks, or an entire piece of real, edible meat out of just a couple of cells in a lab. The production involved growing of meat by mimicking a natural process of muscle-tissue regeneration occurring inside the cow’s body. The efforts of Aleph Farms for producing “slaughter-free meat in space” is described to be due to climate change, the report said citing a press release by the firm.
