Почему нужны AltProteins актуальность темы, какие там есть сабсекторы, что это такое вообще и как работает? Проблематизация темы - какие факты есть по сектору и сабсекторам уже сейчас, потенциалу и т.д. КАкой есть эффект LIvestock agriculture and in what areas of world what effect is, red meat, white meat? Animal welfare, environment? How many people is involved in the sector? How many meat we eat etc population growth and rise in demand for meat as another aspect of it 1. Establish the Facts (Ethical Case Analysis Framework) Tool: Facts About the Problem/Situation
Identify Stakeholders: Farmers, corporations, policymakers, consumers, the environment, and future generations.
Key Facts:
Farmers face livelihood disruptions from reduced demand for animal agriculture.
Alternative proteins promise environmental benefits but concentrate power in large corporations.
Rural communities risk economic decline without active intervention.
Purpose: Ground the ethical analysis in the realities of affected parties and their competing interests.

Почему мы выбрали культивированное мясо как объект исследования? (transformative innovation) Ака и в чем тут основная этическая дилемма? → dusruptie technologies (transformative innovation) and their effect on conventional industry Justice vs. Efficiency in transition and Animal Welfare and Sustainability (decrease of GHG) Purpose: Evaluates whether the benefits (ends) justify the harms (means).
Application:
Ends: Reduced environmental impact, global food security, and animal welfare.
Means: Displacement of traditional livelihoods, cultural erosion, and potential inequalities.
Key Questions:
Are the means (farmer displacement) ethically justified by the ends (sustainability gains)?
Are the means effective, or could alternative approaches achieve the same ends with less harm?
Reshaping the System: Encourages exploring alternative, less harmful approaches, such as inclusive transition models.
Purpose: Identifies where values conflict (e.g., sustainability vs. fairness) and potential synergies.
Application:
Conflict: Environmental goals (sustainability) may conflict with farmers' livelihoods (justice).
Synergy: Alternative proteins can be designed to integrate small-scale farming, benefiting both goals.
Reshaping the System: Resolves value tensions through innovative solutions, fostering alignment.
Наш подход к анализу этого кейса и дилеммы Do startups with disruptive technolgies have moral obligations/responsibilities towards Just transition of conventional industry stakeholders in particular of cultured meat? If yes, then what are those responsibilties/moral obligations? What risks they stem if not fulfilled? (Ethical Risk Assessment. What It Does: Identifies ethical risks (e.g., inequality, cultural erasure) and proposes mitigation strategies. Ethical Lens: Focuses on preventing foreseeable harms to farmers and communities.) their responsibilities - ethical?philatrophic?sustianable?legal?economic? And what they can specifically do to fulfill them? How we approached this? What they will read below? honest broker aka consultants 10. The Role of Experts in Innovation Discourses Purpose: Frames decision-making roles (e.g., knowledge exponent, arbiter, honest broker).
Application:
Experts should act as honest brokers, presenting diverse options and facilitating discourse among stakeholders.
Avoid advocating for a single solution without addressing its ethical trade-offs.
Reshaping the System: Promotes transparency and critical thinking, fostering trust and collaboration.

It provides a structured way to consider the interests of different groups (e.g., consumers, producers, and animals) alongside ethical principles like well-being, autonomy, and justice.

Literature review: Do startups with disruptive technolgies have moral obligations/responsibilities towards Just transition of conventional industry stakeholders in particular of cultured meat? CSR for innovative disruptive companies Disruptive Technologies’ Moral Obligations: Literature suggests that companies introducing disruptive technologies have responsibilities to mitigate negative impacts on traditional stakeholders, particularly if they profit from these shifts If yes, then what are those responsibilties/moral obligations?

What It Brings: Emphasizes fairness and protecting the least advantaged members of society.
Application:
Analyze whether the transition to alternative proteins unfairly burdens farmers and rural communities.
Use the "veil of ignorance" to imagine fair policies—e.g., would we design systems that marginalize small farmers if we didn’t know our social position?
