Abstract: At present, human's demand for meat is increasing, but the environment pressure caused by the meat production of livestock is also increasingly apparent. The development of green and sustainable meat substitutes to reduce global carbon emissions and meet the increasing demand for meat has become the hotspot of social concerns. Although artificial meat belongs to food, it still lacks in-depth analysis on whether it brings challenges or opportunities to the livestock industry. In this paper, the classification and development history of artificial meat, the existing core manufacturing technology and market prospect of artificial meat are summarized, and the importance of using the diversity of livestock and poultry germplasm resources to promote cell-based meat are analyzed.

Key words: artificial meat, technical characteristic, market, stem cell, diversity
