As a consequence of weak academic research in this area, cell-based food has not yet proven to be as healthy or so nutritious compared to meat from farm animals due to a lack of data. Research in nutrition with digestibility approaches needs to be conducted to study the absorption of nutrients from cell-based food by the human digestive tract. Regarding interactions with the environment, only a few studies have been conducted so far with no clear conclusion. In addition, livestock farming systems have weaknesses but also benefits not considered yet in the comparison with cell-based food.
