The future of meat is cultured, not raised.
Perhaps so, but I would think that is a rather distant future. Using
present technology, meat produced that way is vastly more expensive
than that produced by conventional methods.
Only because the technology is not quite here yet, and no economies of
scale can be realized. Plus, the cost of meat is much higher than the
price (the same market failure we see with fossil fuels). If we start
taxing carbon and other pollutants to correct that market failure, the
prices will be much higher and alternatives will be economically
attractive.
Insects are also a promising source of protein, and could be excellent
as a food source in space.
