By shifting from animal to plant-based meat, we can positively impact four growing global issues: human health 💪, climate change 🌎, constraints on natural resources 🌱, and animal welfare 🐮. #GoBeyond

We're transforming the global food system by creating better ways to make meat, dairy and fish without using animals -- delicious, good for people, and good for the planet. Our approach: understand what people love about meat, dairy, and fish, and then explore the plant world for specific ingredients that recreate those experiences. In 2016, we launched the Impossible™ Burger: meat made from plants, for people who love to eat meat. Founded in 2011 by Pat Brown MD, PhD (Stanford Professor Emeritus) and backed by top-tier VCs and visionaries, we’re looking for the very best scientists, engineers, food developers, and business professionals in the world to join our creative, diverse, multi-talented and mission-driven team. We’re here to secure a sustainable future (and have fun while doing it). Come work with us to change the course of history.

We’re rethinking everything. Starting with food. Using safe, proven fermentation methods we make animal-free whey protein from microflora – not cows – to make dairy that’s identical to traditional milk. The production of our whey protein emits up to 97% less greenhouse gas emissions, uses up to 99% less blue water, and uses up to 60% less nonrenewable energy, compared to the production of protein found in traditional milk. Our protein comes in a variety of applications including cream cheese, barista milk, ice cream, protein powder, egg replacer, bakery mix, confectionery, and gelato. Some of our partners in-market include Mars, Nestlé, Natreve, Brave Robot, Myprotein, Strive Nutrition, Nick's, Tomorrow Farms, Villa Dolce, Betterland, and more. It’s dairy that’s better for everything.
