Natural fertiliser is massively damaging to rivers.
Of course, all of that assumes the existence of food as an input to the processing. Lab-grown meat does not have that; it's literally the creation of meat using processes that are analogous to the natural process. It is not, on the face of it, "processed food".
Now, genetically-modified...there's probably an argument there. The interesting possibility is...what if they can now edit the genes to make meat that lasts twice as long before spoiling, which they couldn't do to livestock while still keeping the embryos viable (and maintaining animal welfare standards)?
As for quantity - scaling is one thing that humans, as a species, have proven themselves to absolutely excel at. Once they've figured out how to reliably and safely produce it, scaling it up to population-level should follow in pretty short order.
As has been mentioned earlier here by @Benm39 run-off & pollution is a very real problem regardless of the source.
Regarding leather, there are developments in the same areas of research as cultured meat https://www.just-style.com/news/3dbt-introduces-lab-grown-sustainable-leather-alternative/
I also wonder how many billions of people the organic-is-the-only-way purists are willing to starve in the interests of humanity moving to their fabled "grass-cow-plate" fantasy?
it's poor animal husbandry to let your feedstock starve.

Look at how much more disease and tooth decay are prevalent.
You don't need scientific papers to prove what is before you. At 53 years of age I have seen the expanding waistlines over the years.
You don't need a paper to defend a strongly held opinion, or even one based on the facts one sees every day.
The problem in my mind comes from the top. If we used less land for grain and more for meat we would be in a better position.
Grain is useful but also turned into highly processed and nasty bread products we do not need.
I am more about simple foods. Less processing, more local. Cheap chicken and pork are not sustainable.
I do know that the global message is wrong and that the heavy but gentle hands which control industry and policy need to be withdrawn.
Less global interference and more honest communication as to how we can eat and be more healthy.

As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

Natural fertilisers are hugely damaging to the environment in the scale now witnessed.. look at the river Wye for example and issues with chicken manure.
Air pollution from ruminant stock levels also hugely problematic, and over grazing is destroying SSSI eco systems at an alarming rate (* Dartmoor for example).
It's worth remembering that all domesticated livestock are a product of human activity, rather than something naturally occurring in the wild.
