A recent study in Nature found that replacing just 20 percent of beef with microbial protein like what we are pioneering could cut global deforestation by a whopping 50 percent. Consequently, Forbes named The Better Meat Co. as an important part of the solution to the global deforestation crisis. This burger — part beef and part Rhiza mycoprotein — is a great example of how our work can help build a better food system. #rhiza #mycoprotein #protein #burger #biotechnology #biomanufacturing
