Laboratory beef could surpass the real thing within 10 years to solve environmental and animal welfare problems, while remaining just as tasty, a Dutch scientist says.

Mark Post, Professor of Physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, 18 months ago oversaw the creation of the first "cultured beef" burger made of stem cells from cow muscle tissue.

He says beef producers already recognise the looming obstacles for the industry, such as how to sustainably and effectively feed the world's population, including the growing Asian middle class, which is projected to reach 3.2 billion people by 2030 and to double the region's food consumption by 2050.

"They recognise the same problems, probably better than anybody else, and they see there could be alternatives," Professor Post told reporters in Darwin on Friday, where he was a guest speaker at the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association annual conference.
