Our Planet
Industrial meat farming is detrimental to the environment, threatening human security, biodiversity and the ecosystem and producing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
MTE’s technology promotes climate action and provides an environmental solution to accelerate the large-scale shift to meat alternatives - without sacrificing flavour, texture, and the planet.
Forests
Livestock farming is the greatest driver of Amazon deforestation:
80%
of rainforests burned today is for cattle ranching or growing animal feed
Climate breakdown
Meat & dairy industries create
19%
of our greenhouse gases, and 32% of methane emissions that drive climate change
Water cycle
Meat & dairy industries create
1/3
of the world’s freshwater footprint, while billions of people live with water shortages
Plant proteins generate 90% lower environmental impact because plants need less land, use less water, and create less pollution than livestock.
Land
75%
of agricultural land is used for raising and feeding livestock
