Summary: South Korean scientists at Yonsei University have developed ‘meaty rice’ by integrating beef cells into rice grains, aiming to create an eco-friendly protein source. This innovation reduces the need for animal slaughter and has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional beef. Despite regulatory and acceptance challenges, this technology could revolutionize global food production.
