agricultura celular, Educação, laboratórioResumo
O aumento da população global nas próximas décadas, aliado à carnificação das dietas na Ásia e na África, impulsionará uma demanda substancial por carne. Isso levanta preocupações significativas em relação ao bem-estar animal, saúde pública, segurança alimentar e sustentabilidade da produção animal convencional. A Zootecnia Celular oferece uma resposta promissora a esses desafios. A formação de profissionais qualificados em agricultura celular é essencial para apoiar seu desenvolvimento e integração. Este estudo descreve o processo de implementação da Zootecnia Celular na Universidade Federal do Paraná, incluindo o desenvolvimento dos primeiros cursos de Introdução à Zootecnia Celular em níveis de graduação e pós-graduação, e a criação do Laboratório de Zootecnia Celular. Além disso, o projeto de extensão Bife Sem Bicho foi concebido para disseminar conhecimentos sobre produtos de origem animal cultivados e outras proteínas alternativas, envolvendo tanto o público universitário quanto o público em geral. Nossos resultados indicam que a Universidade avançou significativamente no campo da Zootecnia Celular, estabelecendo cursos fundamentais, um laboratório dedicado e iniciativas de extensão. O estudo revela uma forte demanda dos alunos por treinamento prático em sistemas de produção de proteínas alternativas, sublinhando a importância de desenvolvimentos laboratoriais adicionais para o ensino. Além disso, a integração de atividades de pesquisa, ensino e extensão promoveu o conhecimento científico e aumentou o interesse dos alunos pela agricultura celular, destacando o potencial desse modelo para formar profissionais qualificados e expandir a conscientização e as habilidades em alternativas sustentáveis aos sistemas de produção animal intensiva.
