At Beyond Meat, we started with simple questions. Why do you need an animal to create meat? Why can't you build meat directly from plants? It turns out you can. So we did. We hope our plant-based meats allow you and your family to eat more, not less, of the traditional dishes you love, while feeling great about the health, sustainability, and animal welfare benefits of plant protein. Together, we can truly bring exciting change to the plate — and Beyond.
Removing the animal from the protein production chain simultaneously and powerfully addresses four major problems attributable to livestock.
Increased Cancer Risk1
Increased Heart Disease Risk1
Of global greenhouse gas emissions driven by livestock rearing and processing2
Animal production share of agriculture water use3
Global surface area for livestock systems4
Land animals slaughtered every year for food5
