Not least among the stressors is food production, especially the vast swathes of land and water required for the cultivation of livestock.It's still in its infancy, but lab-cultured meat could be one means of easing the pressure – and Korean scientists have just found an innovative way to make it. They've invented a new hybrid food, consisting of cells of bovine fat and muscle grown inside grains of rice.The result resembles a strange…
