53% : While the EU and US hesitate, the UK can become world leader in this burgeoning - and cruelty-free - innovationIf the pet food industry were a country, it would rank as the world's 60th biggest emitter of carbon dioxide.
48% : According to estimates from the European Environment Agency, lab-based meat cultivation uses 45% less energy than traditional beef farming; if powered by renewable energy, research suggests a 92% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions, plus water and land use reductions of 78% and 95% respectively.
47% : Government subsidies for food production are nothing new: UK farmers are provided with more than £2bn from the public coffers each year.
