We replace outdated analogue infrastructure with smart and digital tools to optimally manage energy consumption and generation.

For too long, have we relied on vast tracts of land to grow our food. Weve plowed and tilled the earth, destroyed the soil and torn up forests to make room for (animal) agriculture. This unchecked and unsustainable expansion of our food system has led to a devastating loss of biodiversity on our planet, with countless species facing extinction as a result of the destruction of their natural habitats. This ends now. Lets decouple food production from agricultural land and rewild back our planet.

Dairy production is currently hugely unsustainable and also highly inefficient. At Better Dairy we are using precision fermentation to produce the same cheeses, yoghurts, ice creams that customers currently enjoy without having to use animals.

Planted combines proprietary structuring and fermentation technologies to produce meat from plant proteins, focusing on delicious taste, meaty and juicy texture, while only using clean ingredients. Planted designs and structures its meat in any size, shape, and fibrous texture and is driven by the conviction that they will outperform animal meat in the future in terms of taste, sustainability, health, efficiency and price. Committed to using only clean ingredients and no additives in all its products, Planted is setting a completely new standard in the plant-based meat category, making it a healthy and sustainable choice for all. Truly better than meat from animals. A growing population along with increasing life expectancy and incomes are major drivers for the rise in global meat demand. However, the current scale of the animal meat industry is beyond unsustainable. Planted wants to change that. The Zurich-based FoodTech spin-off from the Swiss Technical Institute of Technology (ETH) was founded in 2019 and was quick to build intellectual property around their technological approach, currently holding several patents. Planted is a certified B Corporation. Planted’s principal meat production is in a glass-house production facility in Kemptthal (Zurich) Switzerland - the first transparent meat production open to the public. Planted meats are available in over 6100 restaurants and more than 8700 retail outlets across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, UK and BeNeLux as well as over its own Europewide webshop. The Planted meat ranges, each consisting of different protein sources, currently include planted.chicken, planted.pulled, planted.kebab, planted.duck, planted.schnitzel, planted.bratwurst, planted.slices Lyoner and planted.steak. In addition, there are various limited editions in close collaboration with star chefs such as Tim Raue, Damien Germanier, Haya Molcho or Sebastian Copien.
