What is Beyond Meat? Article featured https://vegnews.com/2022/4/beyond-meat-guide-recipes.
Is Beyond Meat better for the planet?
The Beyond Meat https://www.beyondmeat.com/en-US/mission/ touts a 2018 life-cycle analysis showing that producing its Beyond Burgers generates 90-percent fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than regular beef. The https://css.umich.edu/publication/b...sment-detailed-comparison-between-plant-based, commissioned by Beyond Meat and conducted by the University of Michigan, compared the environmental impact of the Beyond Burger to a quarter-pound US beef burger and found that the Beyond Burger also uses 99-percent less water, 93-percent less land, and 46-percent less energy in its production.
But some environmental groups https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/business/beyond-meat-impossible-emissions.html Beyond Meat for not publicly disclosing the amount of GHG emissions from its operations, supply chains, or consumer waste, and for not disclosing the effects of its operations on forests or how much water is used, making its planet-friendly claims difficult to verify. Marco Springmann, a senior environmental researcher at the University of Oxford, https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/business/beyond-meat-impossible-emissions.html that switching to a plant-based diet is better for the planet, and companies like Beyond Meat are tapping into an important food movement. “However, while their processed products have about half the carbon footprint that chicken does, they also have five times more of a footprint than a bean patty.”
Even if Beyond Meat relies on industrial farming practices to create its products and does not disclose the full extent of its environmental effects, years of https://gfi.org/resource/environmental-impact-of-meat-vs-plant-based-meat/ has shown that plant-based meat has a lower carbon footprint than most animal products. With animal agriculture contributing https://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/197623/icode/ of the world’s GHG emissions—and the global demand for meat increasing—it’s clear that moving away from consuming animals is much kinder and more sustainable.
