About Us

There’s a hunger inside us all. When passion for the delicious meets an appetite for a just world, there’s an opportunity to change things for the better.

At Hungry Planet®, we’re on a mission to bend the curve on personal and planetary health with the only full range of delicious, nourishing, plant-based meats.

Crafted by chefs with the vision of enabling culinary freedom that’s good for our health and the earth, we make it easy to swap in our meats for conventional meats in any cuisine, with any flavor, across all proteins – without compromise.

So when it comes to doing right by the planet and your business, ask yourself: What are you hungry for?

It began as a passion project. We wanted to do something meaningful to solve two of the world’s most pressing problems: the HEALTH OF HUMANKIND and the HEALTH OF OUR PLANET.

From the beginning, we approached the opportunity differently.

We’d already been eating plant-based for decades, but we knew that in order to transform our food system, we had to create delectable plant-based meats to fit our modern lifestyle. We set out on a mission to craft a wide range of proteins to feed our growing human family, regenerate our environment, enhance personal health, and increase animal well-being. Crucially, they had to be a simple switch for conventional meat, while also delivering superior nutrition.

After a decade of culinary R&D, we developed the most authentic and complete range of plant-based meats available in the world – and the innovation continues. Our expert chefs perfected Hungry Planet® Chicken, Beef, Pork, Italian Sausage, Chorizo and Crab, enabling more chefs and customers to make an easy plant-based swap in any recipe, any cuisine.

Hungry Planet® is now in thousands of venues across the U.S., Australia and New Zealand including fine dining, fast casual, university, hospital, retail, grocery, deli, and, through our philanthropic arm, we’ve helped provide over 1 million Hungry Planet® meals to public K-12.

Our greatest hope is that we’re making it easier for people to choose plant-based meats, and we believe that our collective food choices have the power to heal our world.

Why Hungry Planet ?

Cows and other animals aren’t getting any better at making meat, BUT WE ARE.

We live in a beautiful world. But as the population continues to grow, we need to implement more sustainable ways to feed us all. With tomorrow in mind, our plant-based meats are leading the way towards a kinder, more hopeful and sustainable future.

Plant based meat better for Environment

Case Study:
Plant-based meats vs conventional meats
Source: CleanMetrics April 8, 2021

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that plant-based diets could free up several million square miles of land and reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to eight billion tonnes per year by 2050. There are, in fact, more immediate opportunities given the rapid market acceptance of plant-based meats. Hungry Planet, a producer of chef-crafted plant-based meats, and CleanMetrics teamed up to quantify this potential.

It is well known that plant-based foods have a much smaller environmental footprint than conventional meats. However, most of these comparisons have involved plant foods that are not direct substitutes for animal proteins. Because Hungry Planet® meats are an authentic one-to-one match for conventional meats in taste, texture, and use, the comparisons presented in this study are more relevant to the question of how food production can be made more sustainable and climate friendly without compromising taste or nutrition.
