Alt Protein Won’t Push Meat Off Plates

Consumers are exploring new food options—but they remain motivated by factors such as taste, price and convenience, says Hannah Thompson-Weeman of Animal Agriculture Alliance. Here’s how beef, pork and chicken producers are adapting their businesses to stay competitive.

The majority of cows in the U.S. are milked in technology-rich parlors, and a growing number, roughly 5%, are milked with robots. That pivot aims to address the dairy industry’s need for more manpower and improved efficiencies.

Although this year’s tough crop-production season will be one for the history books, it will also impact corn and soybean production in the U.S. for years to come.

What we see is what we believe, commentator Dan Murphy writes. That’s why every farmer, feeder or livestock operator should install surveillance cameras at their facilities.

The company emphasizes a commitment to “do a lot more with a lot less, to lift the world’s understanding of plant biology, and to enable local food production at scale all over the world.”
