  • From Livestock to Cell-stock. Farmed Animal Obsolescence and the Politics of Resemblance Elan Abrell Antropología meat animals synthetic food politics Cellular agriculture The nascent cellular agriculture industry seeks to produce cell-cultured animal tissue for human consumption. Effectively rendering farmed animals obsolete in food production could mitigate an array of harms inflicted by industrial animal farming on the environment, public health, and human and animal wellbeing, but achieving this outcome is contingent on cellular agriculture entrepreneurs successfully creating a product that closely resembles conventional meat enough to appeal to consumers despite its synthetic origins. This article examines how these politics of resemblance may shape and limit the realization of the in- dustry’s potential benefits. Specifically, it argues that, while cellular agriculture can only realize such benefits through the facilitation of agricultural animal obsolescence, its po- tential for positive transformations in food production may ultimately be blunted by the degree to which a failure to extend the politics of resemblance from the consumer market to the labor market renders agricultural human laborers obsolete as well. 2021 artículo científico 2813-5237 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=664772071003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6647/664772071003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6647/664772071003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6647/664772071003/664772071003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6647/664772071003/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6647 Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology application/pdf Universität Bern Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology (Suiza) Vol.26
