Bhai "Qurbani" has spiritual and "theological" connotations to it, it is not quite as simple as eating artificial meat (which to according scientists can trigger major health problems such as auto-immune disease), BTW I am a staunch animal-lover yet I fully embrace this tradition as it is part of my deen, no ifs or buts about it.Kudos bhai
Here is an article from Al Jazeera about artificial meat devised by a Dutch researcher. Al Jazeera is the official voice of Qatar which is a Muslim-majority country. The article does not contain any criticism.
I understand your affinity for the process of Qurbani but I ( also a Muslim ) am sure we can find a way where an animal is not sacrificed but the sanctity of Qurbani retained.
From that article I quote :
The above is the dilemma that I and many other meat-eaters face.I realised I underestimated how attached we are to food authenticity, and that food to many is something they want to connect with.
But at the same time, most people don't really want to know how meat ended up on their plate.
The article also contains a vid describing the process of manufacturing meat ( in this case, beef ).
There is also the economic factor without it millions will go jobless
You are correct. And I have a solution.
Why can't all those people become farmers in Vertical Farms that are set up at neighborhood-level?? In a single stroke farmed food becomes universally available and people get gainful and scientific employment.
It may sound futuristic but Vertical Farming ( and Urban Farming ) is already being tried. Urban Farming is being done in Venezuela :
Around 20,000 Venezuelan adolescents will learn about urban farming as part of a plan launched by President Nicolas Maduro to support food production and the country’s youth programs.

Under the program, thousands of members of the Chamba Juvenil program will be trained on how to grow and harvest fruits, vegetables, legumes as well as on how to raise sheep, goats, pigs and other livestock, said Minister of Youth and Sports Pedro Infante.
The initiative "will give thousands of young people a space to take advantage of their productive capabilities and contribute to the 15 motors of the Bolivarian Economic Agenda," Infante said in an interview with the national program, “La Hora de los Clap.”
According to the minister, the farming initiative plans to reach out to unemployed young people and incorporate them into the educational and production system.
The objective is to give young people an opportunity to grow in the health, education, urban production sectors, the minister added.
