The question: "Experimental environmentally-friendly food sources like cultured meat are worth investing in." is ambiguous since a lot of researchers seems to think the statement that it is environmentally friendly is debatable. The technology needed to make such meat needs a lot of energy and might never scale up to global demands.
use a different example of an experimental food source, such as "insect-based food," which offers clear environmental benefits over cattle meat.
(I'll admit this example is not perfect since insects are a common food in some countries like Nigeria or Congo. So a person from theses countries doing this test might be confused and offended)
Or to rephrase the sentence as "Potentially environmentally-friendly" since it's not clear if cultured meat may ever be sustainable.
