Our food system is taking an enormous toll on our planet

Food, like everything we produce and consume, has a climate footprint. Did you know it's bigger than all the world’s cars, trains, and airplanes combined? Scroll down to learn why that is, and what we can do about it.

of Emissions

Our food system is one of the biggest sources of manmade emissions on earth, accounting for over one-third of planet-warming greenhouse gases. VIEW SOURCE

of Habitable land

Our food system requires a significant amount of space, and has transformed half the world's habitable land into farms, pastures, and industrial feedlots. VIEW SOURCE

Of Freshwater

Our food system is also a huge water hog, sucking up over two-thirds of the freshwater we pull from the world's lakes, rivers, streams, and aquifers. VIEW SOURCE

WE HAVE TO CHANGE HOW OUR FAVORITE FOODS ARE MADE

We have the ingredients we need. Here's how we're using them to make delicious, nutritious, sustainable foods.

Step 1: Source Ingredients

We start with familiar ingredients made in new ways. Think: milk protein from fermentation instead of cows.

Step 2: Develop Products

We use those ingredients to make modern takes on classic products. Think: animal-free dairy milk.

Step 3: Build brands

We turn those products into household names. Think: Bored Cow, the first milk alternative to do it all.

Step 4: Stock shelves

We get those brands into your local grocery store so you can enjoy them. Think: Sprouts Farmers Market.

INTRODUCING BORED COW

THE FIRST MILK ALTERNATIVE TO DO IT ALL

Bored Cow is a new kind of milk alternative made with milk protein from fermentation instead of cows. It looks, feels, tastes, and acts just like dairy, because it is.
