(USA)

Plant-based foods are predicted to be a big trend in 2018.

Innovators Magazine has featured stories on this growing industry throughout 2017. We’ll also have an exclusive feature on it – by the Good Food Institute – in our special biotech edition, out later next month.

Beyond Meat, which produces what have been labelled the iPhone of meat-free burgers is backed by Leonardo DiCaprio. And it has introduced the latest headline-grabbing product, the Beyond Sausage – which company CEO, Ethan Brown, says is a product which epitomises his team’s “relentless march toward a perfect build of meat from plants”.
