Are 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

The 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.

How 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.
