"In vitro" is a phrase used to denote something which has been developed or tested in a lab/petry dish, rather than in it's normal environment. For example, in vitro fertilization (IVF) involves fertilizing the egg with the sperm in a petry dish, then implanting the fertilized egg back into the women's uterus.

One of the most important things to know about things tested or developed "in vitro" is that many things which occur in petry dish or lab circumstances do not work in the same way when tested out under "in vivo" conditions (the conditions the reaction would normally occur in - ie. non lab conditions).

In vitro meat is meat which has been grown in a lab (in a petry dish - not on an animal). It is still a very experimental process, however it has been shown to work.

What are the disadvantages of in vitro meat?

In vitro meat, while promising, faces several disadvantages, including high production costs and technological challenges that hinder scalability. Additionally, there are concerns about consumer acceptance and the perception of lab-grown meat as less natural. Environmental impacts related to energy consumption during production and potential regulatory hurdles also pose significant challenges for its widespread adoption.
