Meat is undergoing a profound transformation thanks to artificial intelligence.  Today we have "next generation" plant based burgers that replicate animal meat.  Soon, we will have meat from in vitro cloning of muscle tissue.  There is no reason to create a whole animal to get the parts that we want to eat.

There is a glitch in our agricultural system – it is weather dependent. We are constantly chasing the perfect environment to grow the perfect crops. By the time our produce makes it to our tables it may have spent weeks or even months in storage, on ships and trucks. But Ray Kurzweil sees a paradigm shift coming to agriculture that is going to change everything. It's called vertical farming.
