Cellular agriculture is an interdisciplinary scientific field drawing from synthetic biology, genetic engineering, molecular biology, tissue engineering, biochemistry, and food science to design organisms capable of producing a wide variety of agricultural products.
There is no need for the use of pesticides and herbicides to make animal products using cellular agriculture. Less pesticide and herbicide use made possible by cellular agriculture will help to reduce ocean eutrophication due to excessive amounts of nutritionistnutrients flowing into the worlds oceans through agricultural run off, and play a significant toleroll in the restoration of the oceanic dead zones (low oxygen areas) back to productive marine ecosystems.
