Offering a comparative perspective, the second part examines the evolving legal and policy frameworks within and beyond the European Union. It discusses topics such as animal welfare, marketing regulations, and labelling practices, highlighting the diverse approaches countries are taking from investing in these future foods, to banning their production or sale. The final part focuses on consumer perceptions, emerging consumption patterns, and religious considerations. Through its accessible, science-based analysis of legal, ethical, scientific, and economic aspects, the book provides a well-rounded resource to support informed public debate and decision-making on a topic that is rapidly gaining global attention.
