As a result of environmental safety monitoring, including soil and feed of their own production of organic meat suppliers farms “Branch of ZDMK “Tikhoretskiy “AO” Danon Russia”, the content of toxic substances in the soil, food plants, animal feed was defined. In the agricultural areas of the actual farms, supplying organic meat products, the ordinary (carbonate) chernozems, low-humus super-powerful and powerful ones predominate. The acidity level of soils varies from neutral (pH 6.9) to alkaline (pH 8.6). The humus proportion varies from 1.79 to 5.84%; the mobile phosphorus content varies from 11.3 to 73.0 mg per 100 gramm; fraction of exchangeable potassium - from 17.12 to 31.94 mg per 100 gramm. The content of total and mobile forms of toxic elements in the soil of steppe and foothills areas of the Southern Federal District commodity does not exceed the allowable levels, estimated concentrations and total content of: mercury - <0.005; cadmium - <0.11; lead - <17.8; arsenic - <0.2; copper <65.0; zinc - <85.0 mg per kilogramm. Accumulation of toxic elements in feeds, feed additives is approximated to the maximum permissible levels. Accumulation of cadmium is noted in sunflower cake in the amount of 0.18 mg per kilogramm (Kanevskiy district of Krasnodar region). Fodder crops contain insignificant amounts of lead, which is explained by the low content of mobile lead forms in the soil and in the vegetative mass of plants. The content of copper and zinc in feeds is much lower, than the maximum permissible levels, respectively, ≤ 30.0 and ≤ 74.0 mg per kilogramm (Kanevskiy region). The mercury and arsenic content is insignificant: less than 0.001 mg per kilogramm.

Innovators of in vitro meat (IVM) are convinced that this approach is the solution for problems related to current meat production and consumption, especially regarding animal welfare and environmental issues. However, the production conditions have yet to be fully clarified and there is still a lack of ethical discourses and critical debates on IVM. In consequence, discussion about the ethical justifiability and desirability of IVM remains hypothetical and we have to question those promises. This paper addresses the complex ethical aspects associated with IVM and the questions of whether, and under what conditions, the production of IVM represents an ethically justifiable solution for existing problems, especially in view of animal welfare, the environment, and society. There are particular hopes regarding the benefits that IVM could bring to animal welfare and the environment, but there are also strong doubts about their ethical benefits.
