.@BeyondMeat's plant-based Beyond Burger uses 99% less water, 93% less land, nearly 50% less energy & generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than what it takes to produce one 1/4 lb. U.S. beef burger. Proud to be an investor in the #futureofprotein. BeyondMeat.com/our-impact

Kudos to Senator Booker for taking on this critical antitrust issue. "A handful of companies control American agriculture." Cory Booker wants to change that bit.ly/2NzLOv4

Chemical & seed company acquisitions & mergers have allowed just 3 companies to control 2/3 of the crop seed and nearly 70% of the agriculture chemical markets. Meanwhile, net income for U.S. farmers has fallen by more than half in just five years. patch.com/new-jersey/montcla…

Sounds sappy, but it’s not anyone’s data. It’s the Universe’s data. A virologist/close family friend made a comment to me when I was a kid about the word ‘discover’: you should look at it as “dis-cover”, just brushing off ignorance to see what was already there, we don’t own it

1 of every 5 pounds of meat consumed in US is produced by Tyson. And they want to move past using animals to make it. Their CEO: “If we can grow the meat without the animal, why wouldn’t we?” 🤯
Huge change coming, with @MemphisMeats leading the charge.
