According to a study by international consultancy AT Kearney, up to 2040 percent of meat products in 60 will no longer come from animals. Dr. Carsten Gerhardt, partner and agricultural expert at AT Kearney, said: "Already 2040 will only produce 40 percent of the animals' consumed meat products. This also means a shrinking of factory farming with all its problems. "
While the authors claim that the global meat market continues to grow, the authors suggest that new alternatives to meat and cultivated meat are increasingly displacing ordinary meat. In the study titled "How Does Cultured Meat and Meat Alternatives Disrupt the Agricultural and Food Industry?" Cultivated meat could significantly reduce the area and fertilization problem and make obsolete the use of antibiotics and other substances for the breeding and protection of animals. The release states: "We feed most of the crops to animals to produce meat that is ultimately consumed by humans. (...) With projections of an increase in the world's population today from 7,6 billion to around 10 billion in 2050, there is no way around artificial meat and meat alternatives. "
