Plant-Based Burger Patties

• The manufacturers of animal-free products aim to revolutionise the very idea of meat through technological innovation.
• An example of innovation in the animal-free products category is the Impossible Burger. This burger debuted in 2016 at New York’s lauded Momofuku Nishi and it is made using vegan patty.
• The Impossible Burger was designed "to sway carnivores towards a more environmentally friendly, plant-based product."
•  The technology that makes the patty of the Impossible Burger is copyrighted by the Bay Area company Impossible Foods. The company claims that the product is better for humans and the Earth than a beef burger. 
• It is worth noting that vegan meat replacements and cell-cultured meats share many of the investors. They include billionares Bill Gates and Richard Branson who have both invested in the technology, as have agriculture giants such as Cargill and Tyson.
