Short summary
We look at how cellular agriculture (CellAg) companies use visual storytelling to embed research on and the production of lab-grown meat within larger environmental themes. The videos highlight lab-grown meat as a necessary shift from traditional farming towards a more sustainable food production. We identified six main narrative patterns, such as technological advancement, scale of production, and ethical benefits, showing how CellAg companies promote their technology as eco-friendly and viable.
