The company aims to address the meat sustainability crisis by providing a cost-effective solution that meets the growing demand for plant-based and hybrid meat products. With partnerships with major food brands and a recent $1.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, The Better Meat Co. is positioned for significant growth in the alternative protein market.
